Depends on when you planted them. They need a long growing season. In zone 7, mine bloomed Sept and Oct, sometimes got caught by the frost. I left them outside all year, the ground didn't freeze in winter. Yes, the ones you brought in will be dormant or nearly dormant. You can keep them in the basement too They'll tell you when they're ready to start growing again, little pink tips poking up out of the soil. Get them planted as early as you can.
