planted over a dozen cannas 25 days ago, and nothing is braking thru the ground. we had record rainfall last week, 15 ",. do you think the heavy rain rotted them.? are they kaput?

Only one way to find out... I would gently move some of the soil above the rhizomes and look for shoots. If you are unable to locate any shoots, dig up one or two rhizomes and check for rot. I have some that are not above ground yet but have started putting out shoots. All this rain is not helping!

Good Luck,

Rokal

hi nucci60,

I learned that if the rhizome you got does not have an eye, it will not live. Do you recall seeing an eye?
