I just purchased the Cleo plant from this canna family which I put in a big pot for my patio. I have planted canna's before via bulb (or maybe it's a Rhizom) & have been on the internet to get an answer but can find it. I used to dig up my cannas & store for the winter (I'm zone 5 in Indianapolis). Can anyone tell me if I can overwinter this plant. Thanks, Vicki

Thank you Daisyl. The plant was pretty pot bound (I could hear her sigh of relief when I took her out & put in a bigger pot) but did now want to disturb the roots to the degree of seeing if there was a bulb or rhizom within the pot. Do you know if I overwinter it like other cannas that I have planted right into the ground? I am big on the internet on answers but just can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

It is a hybrid variety of canna so, just a fancy version of the old plant. Treat it just the same as you do your other cannas.
