Hi, Irwin. What zone are you in, and did you grow your Canna outside
through winter? I just love 'Bengal Tiger', but I have no luck digging and
storing tender bulbs. I have never seen anyone up here leave their Cannas
out for the winter, but I have never seen a Bengal Tiger in person, either.
Do you have any tips for keeping the bulbs (rhizomes?) from drying up
after digging?
