But are we talking tropical cannas in the pond or in the ground? Tropical
cannas in the pond, imo, should be brought in else they may rot over
winter. Here in Zone 7, it is a gamble that they may come back if left in
the ground.

Currently mine still haven't been knocked back enough to warrant coming in,
still waiting. ~ jan
