You should leave you canna plants in the container during the winter months. Depending on how low temperatures are expected to get, you can leave them outside or bring them indoors and place in a cool, dry location.
In the spring, you can then remove the rhizomes and plant them directly into the ground. Depending on the size of your rhizomes, you can also divide at this time. Just make sure each divided piece has at least one eye. If you chose not to divide, remember that cannas should be divided every 3 to 4 years.
When planting in the ground, give your cannas room to grow as the rhizomes will spread.
