Unfortunately my girlfreind is getting a divorce...too bad..well she asked me this and I have no idea. The ground is not frozen here where I live because it was recently in the fiftys and got to sixty last week. I couldn't believe yesterday when I walked in the rain to see growth still on many of my perennials. This is very unusual for Indiana. So she said she would like to take a few,not alot of her perennial just enough to start her newer, much smaller place. Since the ground is not frozen.......she said until closing and etc. she wants to keep them at my place. Well I don't want her to waste her time digging them and me planting them if it isn't going to work. Any ideas??? Would it work if the ground isn't frozen and I cover them? Things like hosta and bugleweed.
Please if anyone can let me know she wants to dig them tommorow.
I purposely put this info on this forum since it seems it gets lots of attention. I need to let her know tommorow morning.

CLOSED: Really odd question about transplanting now
potofgold;
They should be o.k. if you mulch them heavily afterward, 8-10" of mulch should keep them from freezing.
You might hit them with a mild B-1 after transplanting them, if you are not having frost they should be OK, yes, Mulch!
Thankyou..for replys
Besides mulching, I would plant them a little on the deep side as well.
