did Monty say to lift cannas and keep moist or to let them dry out overwinter? do I leave them in their soil or clean off?
Do not let them dry out- certainly not to the extent as you would for dahlias-they need a bit of moisture to keep them going-so a bit of soil is good.
I haven't tried the "keeping in a bin-liner" trick

I wasn't convinced that Monty had ever tried the "keeping in a bin-liner" trick before either.
Similar to his novel suggestion of keeping his dahlias in vermiculite. I can't recall him suggesting either of those ideas last year.
hi he did say to cut them down, place them with some soil in a bin liner, wet the soil lightly and tuck them away somewhere frost free, hope that helps
