I have tow trays of French marigold seedlings in the house, I'll put them in

As an aside, what the hell am I going to do with my mimosa tree?!? - it's
growing at the rate of an inch a day and is now almost four inches tall
(temps 70 - 90 F)...if I take it out of the hot frame, will it die?...what's
the lowest temps it will put up with? - I can't leave the heating on for
many more weeks...
