Should I be worried about my flowers for tonight?

I have baby wildflowers and snapdragons that I had transplanted out side that are now getting their secondary leaves in. They have been alright when temperatures dropped into the 40's at night but now there is talk of sleet tonight and temperatures falling into the 30's. I have all my flowers covered with little dirt cups. Will they be alright?

Unless you have anything that is really frost-sensitive like impatiens or African marigolds, you don't need to worry. Most flower plants can take cold weather without damage. Wildflowers and snapdragons will be fine. After all, wild flowers are wild and have to survive everything Mother Nature throws at them.
Reply:A good night's sleep is important. Have a warm cup of Ovaltine and go to bed. Your flowers will be just fine.


They can be more hardy than you think.
Reply:As long as there is no wind to knock the cups over, they should be fine. You could cover with a sheet, just to be safe.
Reply:don't worry!
