I think the dent side is the top and which should be placed with its 'shoulders' proud of the earth/compost.
If overwatered this dent can collect water and rot the corm. I think this is also true of begonias? In fact any corm which presents with a dent as you call it.
I have just 3 one year old 'babies' started from seed last year and they're still roundish with a bit of a point - no flowers yet and I think I'll have to wait another year - but quite interesting to see just how quickly the seed bulks up to form the corm. Leaves are now getting quite large.

Don't plant too deep though. Don't fill the dimple with soil.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Been hoping for free p&p, missed out a few weeks ago - we were in Cyprus, where we saw some 'Fernleaf' lavender. Looks really nice. So I thought I'd look for some plugs/plants when we got back. Seems that you start them from seed, only a few places do them. T&M had them for 99p though, but with...Lavender 'Oregano' - Kew Collection Seeds from Thompson & Morgan - experts in the garden since 1855Today, 10:17 AM
