Jennifer, I definitely will be putting them outside when it stays above 32 degree's a night. I have been experiencing etiolated semps from lack of sunlight and it has made them grow upwards. I'm sure if you had enough sunlight coming in for a good portion of the day they would do fine as mine had for a long time...probably just depends on a lot of different factors. I am excited to see how well they do outside and then will probably bring a few inside during the winter to enjoy but keep the rest outside. Jennifer where in Michigan are you located in? Where you the one that just bought a bunch from Home Depot on another post I saw?
