I would wait until there are no more snow storms. I live in Texas and my plants have weathered the cold spells with below freezing temps, but our cold spells don't last long. Hope spring comes soon for you guys!!! I can imagine you are ready for it.

I live in Long Island. I bought these last year and followed directions to a T. Not a single plant sprouted. On the other hand, I've had great luck with purple and white sweet alyssum. Good luck!

This plant will grow in zones 4-6. You should be fine with it. It will survive snow. It's a perennial. I haven't even planted mine yet. We have a frost warning for tonight. Crazy weather. I'm using it for around rocks in a rock garden to fill in the spaces. Good luck!

I planted mine in New York City last fall and it's starting to spout new leaves now. I don't know if it will prosper or not since that's yet to tell. This winter had been quite cold with the artic air but it didn't kill my fuyu, nor with that dump of snow. My fuyu was covered in a foot or two of snow, no thanks to my in law who buried it.

I am growing mine inside and put it outside in the warmer weather. It does need a sunny location to flower but if you don't have that area the plant is still pretty. I live in MA in a cold apartment with very little light so it doesn't flower and I also forget to water it a lot and it has been a very forgiving plant but of course it doesn't thrive when I neglect it.

I'm not really sure. However, the ones I planted a month ago, are just beginning to grow really well. I guess it must be because the weather is a little cooler and wetter. So, based on this, I think planting it now in Boston would be good. The vines I got were on two year old root stock, so they are pretty hardy, even though the plants were small. We're in Delaware, so our weather is a little warmer than Boston. Fall is always a good time to plant, though you might have to protect the young vines over the winter. Good luck!

I would say as long as the ground isn't frozen, then you can plant them. I'm zone 5a (new york) and I'll probably be planting mine around mid-april.

Spring would be best if you live more in the north. I planted mine during summer. It is growing nicely, but no flowers yet. I will mulch and have it in a more sheltered area so it survives winter. Hopefully it will really take off next spring.

Only thing it needs is warm enough weather. I planted some in a green house back in March but the temperature did not stay warm enough all day so it did not grow. The ones I planted in late April is growing good.

I live in the high desert (4000 ft.) and I planted in the early summer. Nurseries who sell these or any plants should let customers know when to plant certain plants. If I still lived in Sacramento, Ca. I would have planted this in the spring. Good luck...

I am not positive as I live in CA and our weather here is pretty moderate. I would probably check with your local University's Horticulture Dept or Nursery or Garden Center. Good luck.

I have no idea if it would grow in NY. I can say for certain it doesn't grow in perfect weather in California. As far as I am concerned these people are a total scam

I am Zone 5a, in western new york, and I planned mine after last spring frost, for me it was May 15th. So Spring planting definitely. By Labor Day they were over 6 feet tall.

I put back into the house and it is doing find now. she did not like it outside for me. it like the sun but not full time only in the house in front of my back window south end. I hope this helps sorry for not getting back sooner been very busy at work.

It's hard to say. I live in Florida and planted the seeds in March. They were slow to move. Now we are in late November...the air is cooler and they are finally starting to grow. Not the easiest to grow for me, and will attempt again next year to see if it was something that I did wrong.

I live in NY/NJ and I bought this plant. I have it in a front window with plenty of sunlight. I just transplanted to a larger pot and it is growing very nicely. I would think it should be OK.

I don't know. We live in South Carolina and plant them in the spring and save the seeds from the flowers for spring replanting. My guess in warm climates that will not get a hard freeze they might do OK

Yes. the internet says that it grows in zones 3 to 11. I don't live that far north but my winters are cold. Mine does fine.
