Hi Chaps,
I tried growing Cannas for the first time this year. All are in tubs, but stopped producing flowers some weeks ago. I want to lift them for the winter, but all I've read is to lift before frost and when the leaves have died down. Thing is, the leaves haven't died down yet and it's almost November!! Would it be OK to life them now? Could they be stored (as I've also read re. Dahlias)in dry newspaper until spring? I'd hate for them to all die, I was pretty pleased with them this year. I really need all those tubs for spring Daffs etc I wanna grow.
I'm having the same problem with the Begonias - STILL loads of flowers on, but I really need to lift them to plant something else! Advice needed with these too please. You've probably guessed, I'm new to this growing lark...
Thanks a lot,
AngeTheHippy
