Q
I received these plants today. I live in CT and the ground is still frozen. 1. What am I supposed to do to keep these alive and healthy until I can plant, which probably won't be for some time yet. 2. Do I need to be concerned about any frost if/when I do plant them, as in my zone that can be as late as May 3. Is there anywhere on you website that I can get specific instructions for care/planting of these plants. 4. On my receipt, it says "Reference WEBCV3KVBW4878140 for complete planting instructions." Where exactly is that, if I type that number into your search box, I get nothing. Today is 3-19-22; 3:45pm Thank you.
Asked by Paulien
Verified Reply - AngelaYour May Night Salvia is dormant and won't mind the colder temperatures. I don't think your ground is frozen now given that temperatures are in the 40 to 50 degree F range. Please go ahead and plant them. You don't need to wait for the last frost. They will be fine planted in the ground and will awaken naturally as the temperatures warm. Plant them no deeper than one inch below the soil level and water them in after planting. If you need to hold the plants, place them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator or an unheated garage. Anywhere that is cool, dark and dry. Was this answer helpful to you
Q
