Default Perennials from Seed

The message

Having successfully grown various perennials from saved seed, when

is the
best time to plant out?

I plant mine when they look big enough .......
This is not exactly a proper answer but there again it's not rocket
science is it '~)


It's probably better to get them established before winter takes
hold - when in doubt keep in their pots in the GH or similar until
next spring.

I agree that it depends upon how robust and fast growing they are.
Anything planted out now will need a lot of watering through the summer.
Autumn is a good time to plant out if your soil isn't too heavy.

You could name some of your plants and say roughly how big they are if
you want a more exact response.
