Put the Siberian in a pot. You can even leave it outside in the pot all
winter if you can't get it planted. Re the TBs, you can pot them...I have
done so and kept them in pots on the South side of the house over winter in
Northern Virginia. Not knowing where you are moving, it is difficult to give
other alternatives. If your climate will be like northern Virginia or
milder, you could dig the TBs just before you move and replant them right
away in early October (this is late and many may not bloom next year, but I
can do it without losing any here)...if it is later than the first week in
Oct, and your climate is as severe as mine, you'd be better off putting them
in pots in my opinion. Clarence Mahan in VA
