Re: Podophyllum hexandrum seedlings

I have been putting my seedlings in the coldframes until I think they will be big enough to survive zone 6b. Did you know deer like them too?

Can someone give me any advice on how to handle some Podophyllum hexandrum
(Himalayan mayapple) seedlings?
My single plant produces nice seedpods every spring, ripening by mid summer. 
I9ve harvested the seeds, placed them in a ziplock bag with barely damp
sphagnum.  Left them at ambient temp for a month or two (no germination
then), then placed them in the refrigerator for the winter and took them out 
in spring.  Only now have they begun to germinate.
They are only in the cotyledon stage, so I don9t think I should be planting them out here in Wisconsin. Do I try to keep them growing over the winter, 
put them back in the frig, or what?

Anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks,
