“...but turns out they got pushed to the back of the patio. Found them during cleanup.”
If they are still viable, pot them up in pots and put them somewhere cool and dark (not freezing!) for the winter months. Start watering and move them to light and warmth when your temps are consistently back above freezing.
You can STILL surround yourself with flowers next Spring. :)
Thanks. Would that work for phlox too?
