I would like to be prepared ahead of time but I have little idea how to deal with the plants coming from Wolfgang.
I'm assuming they will be small, with some roots, and considerably stressed by a long trip in a dark box. And they will be arriving likely in the July heat, with August around the corner.

Can I plant them directly into my full-sun semp beds where the daily highs will be 85-95?
I'm wondering if I should instead put them in little pots in a tray so I can move them in or out of shade as the weather dictates. And let them spend the first winter in a rain-free, unheated greenhouse. I think that might be the best route.

What's your plan?
Anyone with experience with this?
