Michele - I am in Florida, too. Zone 9b. When is the latest I can plant them? I have about 60 new seedlings that I've had in long containers growing over the summer. I was thinking I'd get them all into the ground this week, but it may take me longer than a week. I was also thinking of waiting until after Halloween so they don't get trampled by trick or treaters.

I see Arlene answered first, but I usually plant here up until December also. We may get a few freezes (usually in Dec) but I just cover the plants with black nursery pots if it is going to freeze close to when I plant. I still have another 2 weeks to go on getting all my dividing done and I will have at least one more order coming this fall from Petit probably in November to plant plus I will have to replant the ones I'm keeping for hybridizing after everything is divided and all the beds are empty. I hope to be DONE by the end of November this year, but we shall see.
