Default When to replant cannas


"Robert Davies" wrote in message
...
Last autumn I dug up all my canna bulb/rhizomes and stored them in

the
garage because I read that this would help get them started more
quickly this year than leaving them in the ground. Now they're just
starting to put out some green shoots. Should I plant them out or
will I get better results if I wait till the shoots are a few inches
long? Until then should I keep them in the dark or bring them into

the
light? And should they be kept dry or sprayed with water? Any advice
would be appreciated.

For what it's worth, I grow mine in pots.........

I cut them down in okt.nov and bring them into the GH or a frost free
shed. Mine are starting to spout now too, but I will wait until about
May before putting them outside (just in case the frost catches them)

Maybe you could pot them up to get them started and plant out later ?
