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,

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,
