Hi Everyone,

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

I forgot to lift my Richard Wallace and other canna plants during the fall of 2007. I could not believe it when I saw it shooting up this spring between the roses. I noticed that it's taller than the other lifted canna plants and it is very tall. I was wondering if anyone of you in zone 5 have had the same experience with cannas or with this variety.

By the way, it's planted on against a south facing wall. This winter we had a heavy snowfall and must have been well insulated. Or, it could be just climate change...:) Cannas don't usually survive the brutal Canadian winter. By posting this note on Richard, I wanted to know if we can leave cannas in the ground up to certain zones by providing the best insulation possible. Your feedback would be most appreciated.
