When do the canna lilies I got from Pip start to shoot? My oriental lilies are all shooting up well, but there's no sign of these at all.

I planted them all in pots as soon as I got them, which were sheltered against the house, so they've not been affected by frost nor have they been overwatered.

Am I doing something wrong? Or just being a little impatient?

I'm sure they will, they do like sun as I'm sure you know. I've never got them to flower only the foliage grows for me, and I know we are pretty much the same weather wise, but I've got alot of shade to deal with. You have quite a sunny aspect if I remember correctly. These plenty of time yet.

Linda I've moved them away from the house in the past week or so, yup I'm being impatient! It's only May after all!

Mine have only just started shooting after being split earlier on in the spring, and I am a bit further South than you so be patient. They need loads of sun and water, but once they start they will be fantastic!!
