None of the cannas have come back. I planted them following the recommendations and in various configurations: in the ground, in pots, in full sun, partial sun, etc... none of them have sprouted.

Description
Canna 'Tarouking' is a variety that doesn't go unnoticed, despite its rather modest stature. This remarkably colourful plant displays spectacular large leaves that are variegated with green, red, orange, and pink stripes that perfectly highlight its spikes of reddish-orange flowers. This flowering occurs throughout summer. This fast-growing canna is as easy to cultivate as a dahlia, but possesses a very distinct exotic charm. Plant it in a bed with white or blue flowers, or in a large pot on a patio for a dazzling display.
Canna 'Tarouking' is an herbaceous rhizomatous plant from the Cannaceae family. It is a hybrid horticultural variety. Its ancestors originate from tropical areas of Asia and America. This canna quickly forms a clump averaging 90cm (35in) in height, occupying 70cm (28in) of ground space. It has large, entire, wide, oblong leaves that sheathe at the base. The lamina shows a variable colour, striped with rich and varied tones. It is entirely covered with prominent veins. Flowering occurs from July-August to September-October, in the form of flower spikes with colours ranging from orange to red. Each flower, measuring 6 to 8cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, is asymmetrical and composed of 3 petals fused at the base, 3 sepals, and visible stamens. The plant easily multiplies vegetatively by producing numerous shoots.
Canna 'Tarouking' can be used to create stunning exotic-looking container displays, alongside agapanthus, amaranths, and cosmos. It also forms a beautiful combination with a dwarf banana tree or bamboo. Hybrid cannas are majestic and colourful plants, ideal for spicing up the back of flower beds for the taller varieties, or for brightening up patios and balconies for the smaller varieties. Their cultivation is within everyone's reach. Consider planting them in a densely packed flower bed with about ten bulbs of the same variety, or by mixing green and purple foliage. Use them to decorate a corner of a pond with colocasias and ferns, and ground cover species such as helxines or golden creeping lysimachias.

Planting and care
Plant the bulbs after the last frosts. The soil should be moist but well-drained (if necessary, lighten your soil with turf or sand). Space them 40cm (16in) apart. Cover with 5cm (2in) of soil. Apply organic fertiliser at planting and at least once a month. Water regularly so that the soil never completely dries out. Its flowering will be more beautiful if it is planted in partial shade.
Canna 'Tarouking' does not like cold weather. It must be protected from frost during winter. Dig up the rhizomes and keep them dry and cool. You can place them in turf, for example.
You can speed up their cycle by planting them in pots under frost-free shelter as early as February, and then transplanting them to the garden in warmer weather.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
