Once frost has killed back the foliage, trim stems to a few inches above soil, carefully dig up and gently brush off excess soil. Cure the rhizomes in a cool, dry spot for a few days. Then wrap and layer them in moist peat moss or slightly damp medium in labeled containers. Store in a cool, dark location (40\u201350\u00b0F), checking periodically for rot and removing any soft specimens. Replant in spring after danger of frost has passed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Zone\u202f5 gardeners need to dig the bulbs in autumn and store them in moist peat moss until spring; this technique ensures your Cannova Red Canna returns beautifully each summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why Grow Cannova Red in Zone\u202f5?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With its fiery blooms, strong vertical presence, and hummingbird appeal, Cannova Red adds a vibrant tropical accent to gardens where summers bring heat and gardens demand color.
