This is the first year i've grown canna's.I am partially handicapped and topped the tops of the plants first,then dead leaves,about half way down the stalks weren't dried out,i found some in the back still green,maybe protected by the ones in front of it.I was shocked to find new growth coming out of the ground.I had planned on moving these canna's to a different place as soon as they started to show new growth,that was how i got them where they are now but they got taller than i realized they would.
Any advice???

I began to clean them out and there was also a lot of leaves at the base of the stalks.
when i started pulling back the leaves also i found.

I stopped cutting the stalks down when i seen they weren't dried up or dead.Should i let them die back completely or what should i do.I live in zone 8 and we don't dig up bulbs,normally!?

Thanks for any advice
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
