How soon after getting these can you plant them outdoors? I am moving to Maryland and the cold season tends to possibly start around Oct. Thanks!

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.

I planted these strawberries in August here in South Florida, but that is not necessarily a good time to plant them because of the extreme heat here in South Florida. Some of my plants died. I would recommend they be planted around this time or spring to get a good root system. Because I lost some of my plants I did not cut off the runners because you can transplant them. They are growing fine now and are just starting to produce strawberries. I started using the Garden Tone for Herbs and Vegetables once a month and this has helped my strawberries grow. I grow them in a raised garden and use organic cow manure and top soil. I also work in a small amount of Lambert potting soil as crazy as this sounds it has worked for me. If you are in a hot climate I would recommend you start them as soon as you have them shipped. I hope this helps you. I learned from trial and error. If I get a good crop I am planning on ordering some more of these strawberries for another raised garden that I have just built.

I love my Honeysuckle plants; however even though our winters do not compare to New England's, I would not plant them until after the last frost as you risk killing the vine. Once established they should be fine. I would also cover them the first winter with burlap to help the young vines to maintain their quality. Also spreading mulch at the base of the vines will help keep the root structure from freezing and dying off....

It depends on where you live. If you are south of TN or MO you can plant them anytime. I live in a slightly colder area so I keep mine as house plants in winter. In the summer I divide them. Some go in the garden as annuals (though some come back) and the rest as hanging baskets or porch pots. Anyway you use them, they are wonderful.

Hi Carrie :) I live in the Lancaster are of PA...we are about what I would call zone 5.5 :) They grew perfectly well...and they even sprouted in the dead of winter in my greenhouse ( which is kind of chilly in December). Go for it :)

I live in middle TN & our weather is similar. Put in a large pot , leave it on a porch out of direct light in the summer, and bring it in when the temp starts getting cold (about 45F). It should be okay. I had surgery & wasn't able to bring mine in this winter & it died-my fault. I will get another one in the spring. Also, they are not very big plants. Be sure to google search for the right amount of different soil: high grade potting soil, mulch & I think at least one other. You can buy these at any place that specializes with plants. Just mix them up & plant- DO NOT OVER WATER. Good Luck!

Don't see why not. However, not sure because I just planted mine in North West Arkansas 4 weeks ago. Instructions mention that they come as late as June and you may not have any the first season. I don't have any yet. I would think June in Arkansas is April in Florida. Order now and plan on next April. We can always hope to be lucky this year.

I germinated mine on a damp, almost we paper towel on a shelf in my southern facing window. As soon as they sprouted, I planted them in small pots. When they were about 6" tall and branched out, I placed them in my garden outside. I am in northern Maine, zone 5, so hoping they will make it through the winter. I have read that they will survive in zone 5, but I've also heard that they won't. Springtime will tell. Hope this helps.

Go for it, I am sure the season will be long enough. Besides, what will not planting them yield? :)

I think anytime you have at least 6 to eight weeks before ground freezing you can plant In my cases I had to delay shipping because I still had snow and ice on my garden

When you don't have any more cold/frost at night. Here in Ct., I put my seedlings in end of April, beginning of May. It's a good head start on what you put in your garden.

Just planted them in the ground a week ago. Haven't weathered a Minnesota winter yet, But, I remember from my youth a buddy's parents had a clump by the backdoor that came back every year. (NOTE: the package I purchased came with no instructions... I recommend a YouTube search for aid on how to promote germination.) Good Luck

I would recommend you plant them in a 1 gallon pot and set them outside for the summer. I would then plant after the last frost has passed in early spring. They should be placed about 10 feet apart and should NOT be by any water source such as a septic leach lines as the roots will travel and plug them up. These trees are beautiful and I receive a lot of compliments. They do loose their leaves and the wood itself is hollow inside. Good Luck and enjoy!

they will grow just fine there. As for the height, it's a vine, so what ever you have it growing up or around will determine that. Winter growth would depend on where you live.

I grew them at early spring, they started to bear since May, and it is still bearing now at September, I live in New Jersey so I don't think it would still bear at winter but perhaps in warmer area they will that I hope someone live in warmer place could further confirm that.

Depending on where you live, yes. I live in Florida, so March is an ideal time to release them, nice balmy weather with warm days. I wouldn't if you live somewhere cold, where the plants haven't come back to life, or somewhere still having freezing temperatures at nights.

I don't know. We live in South Carolina and plant them in the spring and save the seeds from the flowers for spring replanting. My guess in warm climates that will not get a hard freeze they might do OK
