		This is a canna with brilliantly coloured foliage, purple whith pink veins fading to orange.
		Dig the plants up (the rhizomes can be large, so dig generously so you don't chop them in pieces), cut the tops back to 12 inches, wash off all the soil, and lay out to dry in a dark, airy place for a couple of weeks, turning occasionally.
		This may not be the official method for saving cannas, but it has worked for me. It is a good idea to check them occasionally during the storage period...if too wet (moldy) dry them out a bit...if too dry (shriveling up) give them a light sprinkling of water.
