Question: When should I dig and divide my cannas, in the fall or early spring?

Answer: You can do it either time if you live in South Texas, but if you live in North Texas, the late winter time might be better. Cannas are slightly winter-tender near the Red River and the late dividing time would be a safer alternative. You must lift and divide them while they have no active top growth, however. They sprout early, so you’ll probably be doing the work in February.
