    I had godetia in this pot last year and the plants reseeded and came up nicely. It is along with the other lily plants that I have there. When do you think it is safe to put this little ones in the garden? Are they big enough to be moved? The night time temps here in Seattle still go down to the low 40s.

    Tina, I haven't grown godetia before, so I looked it up in my seed catalog and it recommends "sow either in the fall (with additional lighting) for a cool season greenhouse cut, or in January for an early Summer cut. Keep temperatures below 75f. and low nitrogen levels for best cut flower quality" this is verbatim, hope it helps. So I am assuming that as long as it doesn't freeze you can keep it fairly cool, so perhaps keep it covered at night if it drops below frosty temps.
