Could someone please give me detailed instructions on how to best store my cannas? I am in Michigan and we will have a freeze any day now. Do I wait until they are dead or can I dig now? I understand dahlias have to wait 4-8 days after they are dead or cut down, are cannas the same? Do I seperate them before I store them? Should I wash them? I know I store them in my basement in peat moss but that is all I know for sure. Thanks for your help. Kay
