Re: When to plant 40 perennials?
Hi Margot,
Just reading your posting - I wouldn't put them in the ground yet, they still
have to hardended off before that. Where abouts are you? I have been waiting
for Costco's boxes of perennials and bulbs too. I bought some tuberous begonias
in boxes from them last year and they were really beautiful. I live in south
central Ontario.
