It sure may be a regional thing. When I first started planting perennials,
I planted some bare-root mail-order stuff in the Fall...two years in a row.
The failure rate was so high that now I only do bulbs, peonies and oriental
poppies in the Fall. I try to have everything in the ground by the end of
June.
