Probably.  Depends on how they've been treated before you buy them though.  Some
nurseries will harden off plants before sale.  We sell bedding plants to local
home gardeners and we harden off everything before we sell it.  But more often
than not they're straight from the greenhouse and haven't spent any time in the
great out-of-doors yet.
