Propagating canna

From Gardening Wiki

Canna Bulb Propagation

In the Northern States, the entire clump of canna roots is taken up in the fall after frost has killed the tops; store them in a cellar with all the earth that adheres to them, and divide them in spring, taking care when replanting to have one or two buds to each piece of root. From North Carolina southward cannas winter better where they grew if the tops are cut and the beds covered with leaves or litter.

What are commercially known as pips are the single crowns which are detached from the clumps and grown separately for three seasons before they become marketable.
