Me again! Thanks for your help!
Today I am wondering about cannas. I work with the flowers at the Eagle Creek Golf Club in Willmar. We have planted several cannas this summer. Can we dig up the bulbs, save them over the winter and replant them next spring? What would be the instructions to do this?.

Good Morning,
Thank you for contacting U of M Extension with your question. I will attach a link to the U of M Extension yard and garden website about tender bulbs: https://extension.umn.edu/flowers/calla-and-canna-lilies
Here is another link: https://extension.umn.edu/how/planting-bulbs-tubers-and-rhizomes#storing-tender-bulbs-1403111 This link has more details on cleaning the bulbs for winter storage.
I just pulled mine up a few days ago. Good Luck!
