[@libbyyoung5572]

Very helpful! I did not know about the seeds. Thank you

[@JT-ok6re]

Your gardens are beautiful man! Love cannas myself. Like a more smaller gorgeous banana with color.

[@northeasthardytropicals541]

Well done my friend

[@fairliescott3073]

Thank You - Great Video!

[@YorkshireKRIS]

You're welcome

[@thecarrasius]

Another great video Kris, Fatsia in the background is still looking good :)

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Yes the Fatsias are year round performers.

A very nice video again!!! From my personal experience here in North Greece zone 8a I NEVER dig out my cannas from the ground! I just leave them either in pots or in the ground and each year they are coming back stronger and better! Moreover, the ones that I have them on the ground they almost get only rainfall during the summer and they cope well with the extreme temperatures and the drought climate! In conclusion they are hard to kill plants and need no care , and especially you don't need to dig them out from the ground!

[@janicegame2372]

We do here in U K, a few years back it was minus14 so freezing! If I lived in Greece,( beautiful ) I would also leave in ground!

[@scottrobert2724]

Im in zone 7 in new york and it take so much time to dig the 100s of rhizomes out every fall. What do you think about rubber mulch wonder if that would work. thinking planting my canna lily rhizomes in mix of 70% rubber mulch and 30% soil in the ground. maybe over winter it will help them getting too wet and rotting as the rubber wont hold water. Also the rubber i think in the soil will help insulate the rhizomes.

[@62gwj]

For the method of digging up the Rhizomes and putting in trogs do you need to water the Rhizomes during winter to stop the plant from drying up completely ? Also I was told not to store the Rhizomes in plastic containers, rather use cardboard boxes ? Many thanks for excellent video please keep them coming

[@Into1657]

I dont have a green house and house/dining room is already packed with stuff that needs to overwinter inside. I have to leave them the round too wet and cold so lost them and also tried in the garage where they dried out. Thinking of trying garage again with slightly damp compost but am concerned that they will mould. Any thoughts?

[@eddiealexander3080]

Great video Chris.Wanted to ask what you feed your cannas around this time? Early June that is. Cheers

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Thanks. Chicken pellets or manure is great

[@Sam-dh6me]

Hey, really interesting video. Do these plants do ok in large pots?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Yes with plenty of water

[@keithellin4270]

Could you mulch & protect cannas overwinter with their own foliage, or would you advise composting it?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Their foliage goes wet and slimy so doesn't give much protection really

[@ginaweller2036]

Thank you for the vid, I had my canna's in pots and overwintered them in the greenhouse , I dug some in the ground and some left in smaller pots, a lot of the leaves have gone brown, what should I do please?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

New shoots should start forming now. Take a look at the base. Be careful though as the shoots are fragile when very small

[@peca1n]

It's my first year for growing Cannas, mine are in a big pot I've not disturbed them at all, just popped the whole pot into the unheated poly tunnel. Do I need to do anything else? Thinking it will be too cold in the mid of winter.

[@YorkshireKRIS]

They'll be for now, and if it's a mild winter they'll be fine. If we get a very cold spell then yes they'll need bringing inside or at least against a house wall.

[@gillianbc]

When mulching, do you put netting or tarpaulin on top of the mulch? I have 6 new alstromerias and I've heard I should mulch them over Winter until they've matured.

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Nothing over the top of the mulch. It generally stays in place

[@JB-lr1tf]

Hi Chris great vedio last year was my first year overwintering cannas in my garden I did everything you said all my cannas have came back apart from one. Should I leave it in the ground and wait or dig it up to check if there's any growth like you dug your up? Thanks Chris.

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Thanks that's up to you really. All should be started into growth by now.

[@JB-lr1tf]

@@YorkshireKRIS thank you think I'll dig it up an check it thanks for your reply.

[@JB-lr1tf]

I went to dig it up an seen the new growth from the sides it is coming taking a while thoe your overwintering advise worked thank you.

[@samanthabeardsmore3037]

Kris, do the small potted plants need to be stored in light or dark?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

The aim is to keep them dormant so darkness helps. Certainly out of full sun.

[@samanthabeardsmore3037]

@@YorkshireKRIS Thank you. I will cover them up then

[@ginaweller2036]

do you have your own website please. Thank you

[@blackthumb6202]

Hello did you say you serve the seeds as In eating? Or do you plant them in the spring?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Hi not sure which bit you're referring to but I saved the seeds for sowing in spring

[@murph6510]

I have seen a few videos that recommend digging up and cleaning and drying the roots and then wrapping them up until time for replanting. Is this method also possible or not as reliable?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

You want to avoid the rhizomes completely drying out or its harder to start back into growth.

[@murph6510]

@@YorkshireKRIS Great thanks Kris

[@KrisHammes]

Do you know if you can buy Canna Edulis in the uk?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Perhaps try Hart Hart canna

[@laurenjeffery9566]

Hello! Once the cannas are in pots, do you water them over the winter? And do you recommend splitting them before putting them in pots, or in the spring? I lost 2 out of my 3 cannas last winter, watering once a month (as recommended by Hart Canna) and then splitting around March.

[@YorkshireKRIS]

You probably won't need to water them over winter if they are dormant. Don't let the compost get powder dry, just barely moist is what you're aiming for. Better to divide in spring

[@susanstewart55555]

What zone are you in? I'm in zone 5...winters coldest is around 20 below Fahrenheit.

[@susanstewart55555]

Wondering if I can leave them in the ground with a bunch of mulch on top.

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Im in the UK but roughly equivalent to 7/8a

[@timothygoh7395]

for people live in zone 5 or colder area this video is totally useless

[@YorkshireKRIS]

No one in the UK is in Zone 5
