Default Help for a canna novice

Here's a site that will give you just about all the info you need for your
canna; planting, storing, FAQ, etc.. Since you live in NH the tuber will
have to be lifted and stored in the fall as you would dahlias. They aren't
super hardy. I live in Seattle and I never had any cannas that made it
through a winter here.

Hello all.

For what ever reason, my mom gifted me with a canna tuber (Madame
Butterfly
to be specific).

OK - there is still snow on the ground here in NH and it isn't going to be
warming up soon. SO, should I pot it up and let it get started in the
house
until late May? Or leave it as is until later this month? How big a pot?


HELP!
