Thanks for all the help and comments. I should mention that the old house
will be empty when being shown as we are moving out prior to be going on the market. So if I pull them, no problem. As for the cannas. They seem to do well right where they are for the last 3-4 years. Never been dug up, just mulched well before frost. Cindy "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... Right....that's why we dig them up. That also lets the air out of Warren's comments. They may be part of the landscape when they're growing, but they have a slim chance of living through the winter, unless you have exactly the right mini-climate right by the foundation of the house. Even so...not likely. "Bourne Identity" wrote in message ... Canna's are not usually hardy in this zone range.

I'd wait till the last minute, and then dig them up with as much soil as possible, even if that means buying the small size boxes from U-Haul and lining them with trash bags. Then, get them back in the ground before working on the house, which, as you know, is only 10% as important as the garden and can go to hell for years without mattering much. :-) "Cindy" wrote in message t... My mistake I live in zone 6-7 and am moving in the same zone. Cindy "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... Where do you live, and exactly when are you moving? "Cindy" wrote in message ... I will be moving to our new house soon and want to take my cannas and lilies with me. They are still blooming and I wonder if I cant just cut them back and when the time comes dig up the bulbs. Would this work? TIA Cindy |
