I planted some cannas and they didn't bloom. There are good sized so I wondered if I could bring them in and try to get them to bloom indoors? Any one? If I do bring them in do I have to do it before frost? Thanks, Connie

Connie.... they need lotsa water and sunlight! I don't know of them blooming indoors! IF you had artificial light and they were mature enough I suppose... hmmmmm
Mine bloom well into the frost seasons so you still have time! Give 'em a boost of plant food, maybe throw a banana at it's feet.. and water water water!

maybe i'm just lucky but I have had cannas indoors for years and though they dont have constant blooms, they do bloom. If I were you I would try them indoors

I was going to say the same as Clams. I have some in sun - blooms. shade- no blooms but I love the leaves so much it really doesn't matter. :)
