I received a lovely wintergreen plant, and want to know if I can plant it outside now if the ground is not frozen? I am in MI, zone 6.
The daytime temperatures have been in the low to mid 30's F (30to 36 degrees) and into the 20's at night. Where I want to plant it is near a house, but it will currently get morning shade and hot afternoon sun in the summer.
It is probably 2-3 quart size in a metal pot, and with lots of berries, perhaps pot bound. I don't get a lot of sun in my apartment. Basically I just want to know if I can go ahead and put it in ground right now since the ground is not frozen? Perhaps move it later?
