Hello, I am hoping that someone is around that can help me know what to do with my canna that is sprouting.

I got this canna last summer and kept it in a pot for the summer. It didn't flower and In the fall, I stopped watering and then when it got cold enough for a frost, I brought it in. I left it in the pot and put it in a thick dark green bag (the light was blocked quite well) and put it on my basement window ledge behind the blind. It is quite cold there. The other day I thought that I would check it and it is growing! I really thought that I had let it dry enough, but apparently not. It has several shoots about 4-7" tall.

I have only overwintered canna tubers a couple of times and that was by digging them and storing them bare.

I thought that leaving them in the pot would be a good idea and had heard of it as a way to overwinter. The other ones that I brought in and left in pots are fine. I left them out, just sitting in the basement.

Any thoughts as to what I should do now would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Lois
