2ofus, That's great! I hope you enjoy them! Cannas get pretty big, so the bigger the better in terms of pot size. I would get a lightweight pot...
2ofus: I am in New England, zone 6a, so a bit warmer than you. I try to start my cannas indoors by April. If I don't, I won't get blossoms...
I would wait Beeker. I would also only water it when the top inch or more is dry as Cheryl suggested. You don't want to kill it with kindness....

Wow Kay, that is a first for me. I have never encountered this! I know some trees ordinarily keep their old dead leaves almost through the winter...
Kay, I missed the posting about the maple's leaves staying on. Are they still attached in February??
Jewell, good to know. I will keep my eye out for good buys. Maybe hellebores will "drift down" to the big box stores on the east coast in time....
Jewell & everybody-- I don't know what I love more, Jewell's hellebores or everyone comments about them!! I keep wanting to buy some hellebores...
Evil roy--thanks for this suggestion. I'll try it.
