if they are already germinated .. what else would you do with them.. plant them ... you have nothing to lose...

in my z5 MI .... there are a lot of october/fall variables that would be against a late bloom ... like shortening days... cool days.. cold nights ... etc ...

whether or not they will make it to the finish line.. would be left to the fates ....

One year, at first frost forecast, I had no flowers but did have buds. I cut some stems with buds and put them in a vase of water. The flowers opened pretty much on schedule.

Go ahead and plant them. Then buy a packet of seed and sprinkle them around before frost. :o)
