coneflowers living indoors for winter

Brooklyn, NY(Zone 7a)

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and I have a question.
I have 3 coneflowers(sun in 4"pots that I bought in September. I will not be able to plant them until April. So far they are healthy. They're growing and have nice dark green leaves. Do you think they will survive 3 more months of indoor living? Should I transplant them into bigger pots?
Thank you, Adele

Gently pull one out of it's pot. See if it's rootbound. They may begin to show signs of stress if there's no room to grow. The big shocker comes when you plant them outside in the Spring. You may have to cut them back then to relieve the stress. Cutting them back only hurts you, the plants will thank you for it in the long run.

Pastime, Thank you for your response.
