I repot into fresh compost and into a bigger pot if necessary once they start into growth again in spring. They grow quickly and need plenty of sustenance to perform well. Don't be in a hurry to put them back outside - wait till they're a good size and the weather's warm enough.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Thank you, should I replace or top up with fresh compost in the spring?
This is my first winter with cannas too. All the advice is much appreciated.
Here we go again
Carol Klein covered overwintering of Cannas & Dahlias on GW last Friday. Very helpful advice as always

My cannas are drying out in the greenhouse at the moment upside down.
I will store these in a cardboard box filled with straw under the staging same as my Dahlias.
I'll start them off February/March time depending on weather conditions.
Opinion seems divided as to weather you should keep them completely dry or moist? What do most people think?
