Planting perennials in autumn

What’s up with perennials? I brought them in because of frost warnings. Are they okay if I put them in the ground today? I think I am going to turn my cornfield into a giant nursery bed and just put stuff in the ground. When can I move stuff? Can I move them until the ground freezes? Do I have to wait until spring?

Since I am going to DC I need to do something if I can’t figure out where everything is going tomorrow.

Price and selection was my main motivating factor in buying from Hortico. I will write more later.

Until recently, Rosemarie Hanson gardened in the alkaline soil of New York’s North Country. Now she gardens in the Finger Lakes region of NY, where the soil is acid and the deer are a plague! She is particularly interested in fragrant plants, old garden roses, tulips, gardening for kids, and kitchen gardens.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
