I have two seedlings from a bee pod on Ruby Storm last year. I started the seeds February and they are just now, starting to send up scapes. Interesting that the pod parent is now starting to go dormant. Should I let them keep going and see if I get a bloom before the cold weather sets in? I think I am going to.

Here in Florida I'd let them bloom.
Don't know what to do in Michigan.

I say just let them bloom. If they are hardy plants they will survive the winter.
