Too late for planting in the ground where you are. You can put in
pots but they can't be left outside to freeze; nor should they be
brought in a warm house. I have potted rhizomes when its too late
for outdoor planting, or tiny wimpy rhizomes and put them in my
unheated garage. The garage gets cold but does not freeze. I gave
them a bit of water every few weeks or so, so they didn't dry out,
and almost all survived. Some even bloomed in the spring, a little
ahead of their 'grounded' compadres.
