| Hello,
I harvested a few seed pods last week or so and planted the seeds in one of my mini green houses. I now have 20-30 seedling apprx 3 inches tall. How to save them to survive the MO winter? Thanks |

| Did you save any seed so that you can start them next Spring so they have to time to make it? Or, just don't worry about it. My Hibiscus plants are only 2" tall and they have to make it thru -30f this winter. They will be covered lightly with leaves tho. |

| OK to transplant in a couple of weeks and then mulch? |

| If these are little seedling we are talking about It would be wise to overwinter them inside. Plant them out come spring. They will not survive winter weather so small. IMHO |
