Potting question

21 years ago

I just received a Canna I got off ebay, it's a starter. I need to pot it, but I was wondering since I can't leave it outside for winter here, can I pot it in more peat than soil so it doesn't weigh a ton? I tried burying one before and storing the bulb, but it died, so I don't wanna do that again.

What I would do is take it out of the pot and clean off the root and put it in peat in a plastic baggie and overwinter it that way. Come Spring just pot it up with regular soil and it should do fine.
