Cold Hardy Babies

     Hi all,
     
     At Home Depot Plant Section(shame on me) last night, I noticed that 
     they had flats of small (2-3 inch) young plants outside all night. I 
     was surprised, given that is still going below freezing here, and our 
     last danger of frost is May 15. 
     
     They were Achillea, digitalis, jacobs ladder, aquilegia, hollyhocks, 
     delphiniums. They where awfully tiny, but apparently are hardened off 
     already? Are these on the list of "cast iron" plants in cold weather?
     
     It never occurred to me that I could plant these now, otherwise, 
     I would have started my seeds A LOT earlier than I have (last 
     week), because I was thinking I would transplant in 8 weeks or 
     so. 
     
     This is rocking my little world -- to think that I could be 
     getting my plant buying fix(s) NOW instead of the end of April, 
     my fingers are itching, my pockets are burning, etc!!!!
