canna are rhizomes and that peat moss will dry them out and kill it. Just
dig them up, do NOT wash them, dump them into either a box or paper bags and
store in a cool dark place, a place that's abover 35F but below 45F.
good this to do is mid winter check for mold and maybe spray a tiny bit of
water onthem IF needed.

Lowes has Peat moss in 6 cubic foot cubes for $8. Since that's pretty
cheap, you can even get an OPEN bag for HALF PRICE!! That's enough to
store
all your tubers in and make your own potting soil as well!!

Hi everyone !
This year for the first time I had a bed of Cannas in my garden . How do
I store them for winter ?? I have read up on it a little and it said to
store them in peat moss . My dilemma is that I can't find any in any
stores around here . Are there other alternatives ? I want to store
them in my basement . Please help !
Thanks ! Rosie z5
