The tubers are easy to cut and divide too. They can be bad bed neighbors, so make sure they have plenty of room to roam or they will take over year after year. Best, Vanessa

They are self-spreading (not the right terminology, I'm sure), so, when they get too thick, you can dig them up and re-plant.

Splendid!  I was hoping that was the right answer, but didn't want to cut and then regret it.  Thanks, Hope!

Just cut the dead part back and they should be peeking up underneath.

Subject: [Gardening] Canna Lilies

 

Hi List,

I have a question about preparing canna lilies for spring.  I was the happy recipient of these lilies when someone put them on their curb last year (thanks!) and they thrived when I planted them.  They got a little extra mulch in the fall and I've done nothing to them since then.  Should I cut back the dead stalks?  Have I killed them, never to see their cheery flowers again?

Thanks,

SJ
