    Hi all, my first post here and I have a query!

    I have a new blank canvas of a front garden. I have bought over a 100 various rooted cutting of perennial plants. They are prob about the size of those little baby pots in thre GC but some are smaller. I have repotted them into small individual pots for growing on but where is best to keep them?

    I dont have a greenhouse and since they are perennials they are hardy but thought as they are so small they may need nurturing for a bit. At present they are in an unheated room

    I would think a protected position outside would be better than in doors if they are all hardy perennials.

    Just keep some fleece handy in case we get a few frosty nights.

    I agree with Pete, find a sheltered spot outside for them. :dbgrtmb:

    Ditto.
    I would put them outside - preferably raised up from the ground (it's warmer there and away from slugs). Keep a bit of fleece handy to cover them incase of any real cold nights. The perennials will be hardy but seedlings and baby plants might not be so tough as they are in their more mature state.
    And don't forget to water them. Small pots can dry out quite quickly.
    I hope they do really well for you.
