Planting & overwintering small basjoos

| I bought a dozen basjoos via Ebay earlier this summer, but never planted them. They are healthy, but small, and are currently in 3" pots and measure about 12" tall. I've finally gotten around to deciding where to plant them in the yard by the pool, and I've got the planting area prepped. Should I get them in the ground now, or is it too late? If it's too late, how what should I do with them for the winter?
Thanks! |

I'll give my opinion and maybe others that are more local will have better facts. But I think you are gonna have at least another month of warmth. I think I would put them in the ground and let them grow as much as possible then dig and pot or store for winter. There is no way those plants are gonna be cold hardy this year. I know this basjoo is supposed to be the most cold tolerant but those little fellows are not gonna be. But whatever you do at least go ahead and repot so they can be growing. Next spring early as ground is warm plant them out.

| James, thanks for the reply. The plants have been outside the whole summer. Do you think that would help with the cold hardy issue? Or is it a matter of their small size? |
