I talked with a gardening friend yesterday, who said that she kept her
cannas in pots in an unheated room, and about a week ago she poured hot
water on them. More hot water a few days later, and they're now sprouted
to about 1 and 1/2 inches.
Does anyone else use hot water on dormant plants? Margaret
