I’m in nearby SW Ontario , zone 6a, and have been growing them for decades. I dig up the roots in November and store them in heavy-duty bags over the winter. I have also overwintered them outdoors in the same manner as I protect my Musa basjoos bananas with leaves and tarps.

Canna. Some people call them canna lilies but they are not related to lilies at all.

these MFers take over everything. So invasive and I can’t stand them.

Canna lilies. You have to plant them after the soil temp is above 60⁰F and you have to cut them back and dig them up for winter and store them. You can look up canna lily care for your zone. I have them growing great in zone 7 and will be digging them up to use again next year.

Looks like two different types of cannas. The dark one might be black knight? Google the varieties – they can be super interesting.

Canna lilies. You can grow them from tubers or from seed. In 6b you will likely have to lift the tubers to overwinter.

We grow them in central Wisconsin. You have to dig them up each year like Dahlias. Those are beautiful Cannas. My in-laws had them in front of the house also.

Cana Lillies, Canna sp , They are distant relatives of gingers and bananas (Order Zingiberales). They often escape from gardens in regions that have native species of gingers and relatives.
