Hi All: I was speaking with a local gentleman, recently transplanted from Great Britain, who has had difficulty with rot while storing his Cannas. I have little experience with Cannas but have not had a similar problem. The only differences that we could determine was that I store mine dry at just above freezing, versus his at 50F, and do not clean them but just pop them out of the ground, let them cure, shake off the excess soil and pot them into dry peatmoss while his is a more thorough cleaning. What advice may I offer this gentleman when we next meet? Mark Mazer Intarsia Ltd. Gaylordsville, Connecticut 06755-0142 USA http://www.therapyshapes.com/ USDA Zone 5 Giant Schnauzer Rescue
