Overwintered seedlings

I have some young plants and cuttings, such as achillea, hebe, penstemon, which have spent the winter in my glazed porch. Should they be OK outside now? I have some shelves in a sunny corner, is that too risky?

Bit early I would have thought. Hebe probably OK if hardened off beforehand, Achillea (our two native species) hasn’t started into growth yet

Dammit! I am running out of room!

I dug up and split a load of achillea last autumn and potted them up. They spent winter in a cold greenhouse in their pots and are now planted out in the garden (we're in the north east). They seem to be fine. If we get a very hard frost I will just put a plant pot upsidedown over them overnight.

I have penstemon cutting (my mum gave me a tray) that I just left outside (in a corner with 2 house walls) which have been fine.
Maybe start putting out in the day buy bringing in at night.

I've got hollyhock & delphinium seedlings on my utility windowsill which I want to get out, but think it is way too early given they've been inside all winter.
