    I've got two dinky acanthus mollis babies, about 6" high in pots. Grown from seed, but germinated and grown outside without cover. Will they be alright to overwinter outside or should I bring them in?

    If they are anything like mine, they are pretty impossible to kill! But maybe give them a few more months tlc just in case

    I am just on the paranoid side, it took me 4 attempts and about 30 seeds to get any to germinate (and then only 2 of the 4 that did made it) so I don't want to kill them now!

    I know once established they are pretty hardy, but with one year old seedlings I 'd be a bit careful.
