I think they are usually a half-hardy perennial - they may survive a mild winter but are generally treated as half-hardy annuals (bedding plants) and replaced each year. I'd harden them off gradually, but if they're going in the ground I wouldn't plant them out until the risk of frost has passed. -
ok thanks i would av put them in 2 mra as its going to b nice day thats if you can believe them hahaComment

It's more a question of how cold the nights are likely to be in your neck of the woods now Cheery Tree.
Pop your mimulas outside during the day and bring them in at night for the next 2/3 weeks.If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing to excess

Plants need to be gradually acclimatised to the outdoors - hardening off - for 7-10 days before they stay outside permanently.
