Default When plant Canna's ?

We live in Zone 5, and have a quantity of Canna bulbs from last year which
we dug up last Fall. When is the best time to put them back in the garden
?
Obliged !

Right now. If they sprout, and you expect one of those late season freezes,
toss an old bed sheet over them. Next year, if you have the space, start
them in early March in pots or trays, under lights or in a VERY sunny
window. You'll get flowers a little sooner. Not always worth the effort,
unless you're obsessed with them or you have a greenhouse.
