I just received 6 dwarf picasso cannas. Do I need to start the bulbs in a pot untill they peep out of dirt, or could they just be put in the ground ? Thanks to anyone who has any advice about them.

Canna Question!
any way would work
In your area it would be better to just plant them in the ground so you wont have to transplant them. I always worry about disturbing the roots just as they are starting to grow.

Check the leaves for virusing when they emerge, also.
Great point Abutilon, the new ones I picked up this spring are now in the garbage. So sad!!
Just about all the 'Picasso' I have seen in the last years has been virused. Very sad, as Picasso is a gorgeous canna.
I will be very happy if your Picasso are clean :D
It can happen. It has happened for me on varieties I never thought I would see clean again, but they were :)
Especially from isolated growers who have been out of exposure from the virus situation of the last years.
Thanks everyone. It always helps to get other opinions.
What should I look for when thet peek out?I'm not familiar with the viruses.
Look at Toni's post on the canna forum to see her pics.
