I've posted this elsewhere, but haven't gotten a response, so hoping cross-posting might help.

I hope someone has some advice for me. Last winter, my son gave me dozens of NYS wildflower seeds that he had collected. I've was successful in germinating quite a few of them and am ready to plant a garden dedicated to wildflowers.

My question - some of the plants are tall and sturdy and I have no worries about transplanting them.

However, some are still fairly small - only a few inches tall, but with good root systems.

Do you think I can transplant the small ones as well? I'm not sure how else I will winter them over.

Any help you can give me is appreciated.

Oh, and a couple, e.g., showy tick-trefoil, have already lost leaves, but again, roots are strong.

Thanks.

If you plant now.with good root systems they should be ok.I would mulch and it would protect it.I am still planting here

I'd only add that this is not a good time of year to transplant asters if you have any.
