I've just planed new ones, and put them in pointed end upwards - but
it's bound to be easier with new ones! Most plants know which way is
up once they start anyway, but not sure if gladdis can. It'll be
interesting if nothing else! Did you plant them in grit - they hate
sitting in wet cold soil.

So I have planted them correctly then?


Yes, sounds like it. Pointed end should be upwards and the knobbly
flatter end is the base.
This should set your mind at rest:
