Transplanted potted perennials
I have 1 pink coreopsis and 1 coral bells in pots which were started from
seed in late spring (Western Ontario, zone 5 - we had a weird season this year...cold, wet and fall like). I am wondering if it would be ok to transplant them to the garden now or if I should bring them indoors through the winter and wait until next spring to transplant them. The coreopsis is in bloom right now and although it has not yet grown to full potential it has quite a lot of flowers. The coral bells never bloomed. Thank you, FayeC zone 5a |

Thank you, FayeC zone 5a Get those plants in the ground ASAP. Both species need a cold dormant period in winter and will do fine if they settle in before a hard freeze. They should have time if you get goin' now. They're simply first-year perennials and should be treated as such with a good winter mulch. Don't try to overwinter them indoors. Best, Tyra nNJ usa z7a |
