I'd be cautious of how the bargain plants were handled up until the time you get
them. Were they stored in a damp cooler, which is good storage except plants will

This is a second to Doreen's e/m. Bargain plants purchased now and kept in a pot or in cold storage until fall would have little advantage. If you buy it now, plant it now. Then water, water, water.
Buy nursery bare rooted plants, or move your own this fall for best fall planting.
