I never had cannas before..i have giants:

The President

Miss Oklahoma

Richard Wallace

Rosemond Cole

and dwarfs:

Sunny Delight

Spitfire

Brandywine

Lucifer

I planted them in late June, I have growth on the giants but not the dwarfs..do you think I'll get any flowers this year? How long after they start do they flower?

when i dig up my cannas to overwinter..

1. when should i do this

2. what should i put them in?

3. do i still water them?

4. Can I just cover them with plastic in the ground or can I put a few inches of mulch on them? Or should I def bring them in? I never brought in my glads and they always come back fine even with no mulch or protection, but they are deeper than the cannas, so I am worried about them.

as u can see I am clueless..need all the help i can get.

thank you!!
