Very nice!

Great deal!!! If cannas are happy they multiply very fast, so you can 'pay it forward' in a few years.

Good for you! I scored cannas, iris and day lily for free. My sweet neighbor across the street came over and planted the bulbs for me. He is a wonderful guy. I just noticed last week that the iris and day lilies are up and looking good.

Lucky you, to live in an area where they will over-winter well in the ground. They are such a beautiful plant.

Nice score! I love free plants!

I got one free canna in the spring. I put it in a big container and I think about 6 or more stalks came up and bloomed. I'm excited to see how many I get out of it for next year. Here we have to overwinter them or they usually won't survive the winter.

Wow! Great score! They'll be so pretty come spring. It's always a little bit of a thrill to come across a deal like that.

Curious as to how you over winter them. I have tried several methods with no success. However one year someone tossed stalks with seeds on them up the street and a couple of stalks floated to in front of my house in one of the rains. Next spring I had several seedling cannas growing where I was too lazy to rake up the seeds.

I love cannas and used to have some, but I don't have room for them here, and so I planted heliconia and ginger instead. Karen from Lake Charles sent me some of the heliconia, and some of it I grew from seed.

I give canna bulbs away every spring. In late fall I dry the bulbs out, wrap them in newspaper and store in a box in my basement. I have way too many for me to plant in the spring, so when I unpack the bulbs I give away the excess viable bulbs. Each year it’s been at least 20. I also Freecycle my spider plant babies, aloe, and corn plant cuttings. Some years I can give away wandering Jew plants, but they’re not doing well enough to give any away this year.

I plan to plant part of them now, and save some for Spring.

I've not planted any in years, nor at this house, but they always came back in the Spring. I mulch them pretty thick over winter. I'm in Oklahoma -- and we do get some hard winters. We'll see how it goes.

The local garden center had them priced this past Spring for $4.98 EACH. I refuse to pay that much for one bulb, at least Cannas.
