What seedlings can go out now (May 3)? #866914

Asked May 03, 2024, 2:18 PM EDT

Can I plant these out NOW? This is what I have ready to go started from seed: chervil, nicotiana sylvestris, butterfly weed, orange echiinacaea, hairy balls milkweed, anise hyssop, cardinal climbers, and salad burnet. They live outside in the daytime and I bring them in most evenings already so they are hardened off.

Thank you for reaching out to ask2.extension.  There is always a 50/50 chance of frost until around May 13th.  If I were you I’d wait until around the 15th to put them out.  The seedlings will also take better when the ground itself is warmer.

Thanks and happy spring!
