T.Cannas can be left in their baskets and pulled out of the pond after
frost knocks them down. Trim off, store in same garage in containers to

added water to just to keep them moist (not wet). Palms do well indoors,
taros do too, if kept in a sunny area. Depends on
the type of canna. ~ jan

=======================
If you do keep tropicals indoors check them closely for spider-mites.
They've been a real problem on everything from purple taros to umbrella
palms for me. No amount to spray got rid of the spider mites. The plants
seldom lasted until spring. I have a purple taro in the greenhouse now that
I have to spray constantly. If it dies I'm not replacing it.
