What to do with plants not planted.

15 years ago

I got some plants around Mother's Day and 3 did not get into the ground. One was a fiber optic plant another is double impatiant an the other one has small skinny green round spikes. Sorry about the spelling. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Greg

I think you will be better off moving them into the house onto a windowsill. i don't think any of those three will survive the winter outdoors once it gets cold.
