Thanks to David Pilling
I guess I planted them upside down, with the joined part at the bottom of the pot.

>in Dahlia the tubers are joined together at one point - the base of the old stem, that is where the new shoots come from, and that is the bit one puts topmost just below the soil. There are a couple of wiki photos (which are not ideal for explaining this point).  In the Cosmos one the stem is at the top right (you plant stuff the same way it came out of the ground). The Dahlia photo is of the 'eye' or new shoot at the top of the bunch of tubers.
