and i presume still good to dig these up in late autumn to over winter, dont try and mulch over etc?
they much fatter base/roots this year
Canna seed are fairly easy to grow.
I sow in early Spring, having sand papered off a bit of the seed covering, and soaking for 24 hours.
They need good heat to germinate, but will grow quickly.
I would certainly dig the parent plant up, to over Winter.
When you don't even know who's in the team

I had good germination after soaking the seeds for 24 hours. Don't bother with sandpaper.
