Alice, your brug is a gorgeous color! If it's still in a pot, it would probably do fine if you just move it to the south side of the house, close to the wall. My south side micro-climate is often 10deg. warmer on cold nights than the north side. Cannas bloom there all year 'round if winter is mild. If it's in the ground, throw a sheet over it for the cold nights.

My big old pink brug has survived the last two winters, albeit with some damage, but I never covered it, and it is on the north side! I think they are hardier than we give them credit for. Pic is of CG with 3 blooms open. All five opened last night, along with the old pink, and the perfume was fabulous. That crazy plant has 4 more buds on the way, too, after keeping me waiting all summer!

Kay, how 'bout a picture of your pretty yellow butterfly vine? Haven't seen nearly enough pictures of your lovely garden lately.
