pots
THANK YOU


You are better off planting them now or this fall rather than leaving them
in the pots over winter. Unless the containers are very large, they will
freeze over the winter unless special precautions are made to protect them.
It is fine to plant them right now, just keep them well watered until
they've had a chance to re-establish themselves. The earlier the better if
you ask me. The more time the plant has to acclimate to its new home before
winter hits the better.
good luck,
Matt
