Default Canna lilies

We live in Zone 5. Last Fall we dug up our canna lilies bulbs, and
stored them for the winter. Usually we plant them again as soon as the
soil warms, late April beginning of May. My question : can we start
them indoors in containers to give them an early start? Any
suggestions, please. Thanks!

Yes, you can start them now. Use a light garden mix (potting soil) and
don't over water them. Once that they start spouting, on warm days set
them outside to get them acclimated to the outside temperates.
