Transplanting Cannas in Fall for Summer Blooms

October is ideal for moving cannas. Cut stalks to the ground, dig the thick rhizomes carefully to avoid breakage, and replant in a sunny, moist spot. The move won't affect next summer's flowers at all. They'll establish roots over winter and perform beautifully.
