Freezing is fine. They are still dormant. If you'd like, PM me and I'll pay for them. Just let me know which colors you have. I found some online, but they start at $11.99 and up for each bare root plant or tuber. Someone has mentioned Lowe's and I'll check them out.

I went once and they had a very fragrant pink that was mis tagged. The guy wasn't sure what it was, so that fall I went back and got the whole plant for $15! I still don't know what it is, but it smells lovely.
Thanks for the advice. I found some online, but very pricey. I will send out another request in the fall when everyone is dividing them. It's just one of those plants I have to have in my garden.

I got all of my plants at rummage sales, there is a lady who has huge gardens, and has a huge sale every year.

They also have them at Walmart. Went browsing the garden center yesterday.

Yep. If you buy them in pots, don't plant them into the garden until fall.
