Cannas not sprouting

I bought 3 new cannas and potted them several weeks ago, still no sign of growth. They are in the GH in pots and soil kept damp.

    I think you need to stop watering and be patient.  They need to get warm before they start to grow and the sun has taken its own sweet time to shine this spring.

    Is the greenhouse heated?
    Were they in there during the very cold spell.
    I grow mine indoors [ much to OH's annoyance ], until the end of May.

    Mine was in the garage over winter and was repotted a fortnight ago and now is in our warm and well-lit studio ... it's only just emerging ...

    Thank you. The GH unheated but we have very warm weather at the moment so fingers crossed they will soon sprout.

    Mine are only just starting to sprout after overwintering in a frost free greenhouse.

    I think mine have succumbed to the long cold winter we've had  :(
