Cindy, just wanted to clarify something. If they are now growing well in pots, does that lessen the amount of time that they should be in the ground before it freezes? I got my seedlings planted last time way before it froze, so I have no idea what I'm doing this year. We've had snow here in September before, but I don't think that will happen this year. And, I don't think it will be freezing then anyway, so I guess I have a little time. I'm also worried about the late start I got and wonder if I need to be planting the germinated seeds into the flower bed, instead of in pots first. I'd prefer to put them in pots, just to keep a better eye on them, but I do want them to survive!
Tina, I'm pretty sure that none of mine are going to be evergreen, but there is always the possibility of a SEV being in there. All these worries! Hopefully we can both get some help!
