When flowers are gone can these be planted outside, Northern DE?
If so, at what point?
Crockett Victory Garden book says he just adds them to compost but wife
wants to grow outside.


I've planted them before and they do survive. They probably won't bloom in spring though possibly in the following spring.


Thanks, will try then.
White blossoms really stink and wife thinks outside they may keep deer away.
