Al,
        I would line them out soon, keep them well watered, and mulch heavily to prevent heaving.  As long as you get some good root development, and mulch, they'll be OK, and they are likely to bloom earlier.
        I find if I can't get the seedlings in before about August, it's better to hold them in the pots to overwinter.  Siberians don't seem to need much protection in pots over winter; even neglected ones tend to survive here in central NY state (zone 5 -20F min temp).

I germinated 2004 Signa seeds in perennial seed flats. I want to move up to pots or line them out in a garden bed. That is my dilemma. With last years freezing and thawing I lost whatever 2003 seedlings I had lined out. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
