Cannas are pretty reliable here with no protection. I lost a few this past winter as the soil froze, but not most.
Canna is a plant you can safely ignore where you live.

Note to self: plant more Canna in May. I need fewer plants to worry about this time next year....

Thanks Heidi 😀 Yeah I had a really Nasty cold/couch/sore throat, I was miserable! I'm on about day 10 or so of antibiotics so I feel much better. Good thing since about 500 plants are coming into the basement today and how ever many more days it takes to get them down there 😯 Your cannas should be just fine in the ground, if your a little nervous place some plastic over them and mulch over it to keep them dry it will work great 😀

Barb nice to see your palm hut is up and your prepared for winter. Bill take some pics of all those plants in your basement.

Will do John 😀
Between today and tomorrow hopefully I'll be able to organize them well enough to water them at least, might just have to use the hose 😆 I think 500 was a super conservative number!
Now that there's room in the yard I'll take better pictures of all the new palms too.
