    Hi all.
    I placed an order late Jan with Parkers and they were delivered today the plants are Astilbe Mixed (False Goat's Beard),Hollyhocks,Crocosmia Lucifer and a Japanese Azalea.
    I have placed the Japanese Azalea in the kitchen window for now. When can the others be planted? They are all to be planted in troughs or planters. I have a couple of small 3 tier plastic green houses I was wondering if they would be alright in there for the time being. The Crocosmia Lucifer are bulbs what is the best way to store them?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    As long as they're planted in the planter and that's stored in the plastic greenhouse you should be fine. Keep it near the house.
    The bulbs can be kept anywhere dry and cool and planted out as soon as late feb

      My crocosmia sunrise and dwarf azalea came today. I'm going to pot up the crocosmia and put the azalea in the cold frame for a bit.
