Dry Rooted Phlox plants which arrived in December

johnanthistle · December 2020

I have just received 20 dry rooted phlox plants. They have come in 4 sealed plastic bags each containing 5 plants and lots of dry compost. Shall I take them out and soak overnight or plant each one up and overwinter in the unheated green house?
Can I plant them out in the garden now as I live in sunny Suffolk?

I drop mine in a bucket of water for an hour before potting them up, I've never planted them out at this time as the soil is very cold.
