replanting stored canna lilies

Question

I separated the rhizomes in November and stored the the roots and rhizomes in my basement after they had dried out. I replanted them in large pots with a mix of potting soil and black dirt. I did this about three weeks ago, and I don’t have any buds showing yet. Are they dead or how long does it take for them to come back to life?

Thanks
Mike

Answer 1

This can depend on the outdoor temperatures.
You could see sprouts anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks after planting the corms.
Corms should be planted about 4 to 5 inches deep and the 'eye' pointing upward.
