New Starts

Any thoughts on overwintering all these newly created plants from cuttings. I feel they are too young to be just put in the ground where they eventually will be. Would a coldframe give enough protection? Maybe put in pots, left to die back in the fall, and stored in an unheated garage? I really don't want to bring them in, and put them under lights.

perennials or tender perennials?? if they are perennials and you get them in the ground now, they should do fine.

Hardy perennials. Problem is, it is just too hot to transplant. Do you think the 1st of Sept. would be OK?

I think that's what most people do. Know of a lady that winter sows a lot of perennials and as soon as they have a couple of leaves she puts them in the ground. in winter in NY.

I don't know much about your winters but we usually keep anything we don't plant out in the unheated greenhouse. You can always use fleece and bubble wrap for extra warmth when it gets really cold.
