Anyone have first hand experience with canna’s? Wife went berserko at the garden centre (buy first, research later) and they look mega but sound faffy - very thirsty but needs free draining soil, dig up rhizomes to winter store etc

Cannas do need protection from a damp, cold UK Winter,
but,
they are definitely worth it.
Wonderful colours in the leaf and a striking flower stem.

Turn the digging up of the rhizomes into a family event?

The shape is stunning and hopefully the height will add some much needed depth to the immature borders.
I guess I was hoping to dump 6” of mulch on top but I won’t risk it for what they cost.
