One Survivor

I had 12 little baby Cannas in the greenhouse from last summers two. All went belly-up during the bad winter. But 'lo and behold, one little beauty was strong enough to survive.

You never know with plants whats going on below the soil. There's always something to surprise us.

Totally agree I wouldnt throw the dead ones out (hope its not too late) I kept all of mine in the bathroom and even the one I thought had died pushed up a new shoot.

No Gismo, I have kept every one of them so here's hoping !

My cannas are tough as nail, surprisingly. I have them outside in a large pot, and wrapped them well in fleece up until just over a month ago. Now there are about 7 sprouts coming up (from the one that I have last summer). Prosperous!
