I'm in the same boat as you!! I ordered my perennials from Michigan Bulb in August and they are dribbling in now , needless to say - we've already had two frosts!! The little ones are only about 1 inch tall, so I'm just beside myself - I hope someone has some good advice for you, I'll say a prayer! Let's hope for the best:muggs:

Thanks for the replies.
I have some of the plants already planted. The ones I just received the other day I'm thinking of putting them in and see what happens since they do have a guarantee. The bulbs I'm not worried about. Funny you mentioned about your orders trickling in. I just received an email about the rest of my items being shipped out today.
I guess time will tell.

I orderd from michigan bulb for the first time this year and I just got an email that about half my bulbs are being shipped out. My problem is that I'm afraid it's still too warm during the day to put them in when they get here this week. We're still getting almost 70 degree days. Kelly, I hope yours all do well and make it through the winter.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.

Were the Rubeckia's just green leaves and no flower buds???

If they were just leaves, then they should fair well...
I plant Black~Eyed~Susan's and relatives in the fall..
*I plant the seeds in spring, keep them in the 6~pks all summer... then plant in the fall time..
sounds screwy, but it works...*

The Cirsium, I thought was like a thistle..
*do you have a link to where you purchased them from to get a better idea of what type of plant it really is?*
If it's a thistle like plant, they're pretty tough...

Sedums' are pretty hardy, just maybe throw some
chopped leaves on top of them, and get some mulch coverage and weight to push them to the ground to make contact with *not toooo heavy, just enough*....
