I planted 16 Rhizomes. According to the Freshops web site I am supposed to "Plant 1 rhizome per hill with the buds pointed up and cover with 1 inch of loose soil."

I notice some are starting to come up, and some are not. My concern is, What if I planted them upside down? Will they still grow? Will this cause an issue? Should I dig them up to see which way they are growing then replant them now the right way?

It was so hard to tell on some which way was "Buds pointing up"

Please advise me on what to do now.
 
The plants know which is way is up (well, they know which way is down actually). If you had planted them upside down, by now, they would have reversed anyway. In other words, they will be pointing up by now imo. Just keep watering and weeding and let them do their thing.
