Hi Sarah, Since they've been so protected thus far, keeping them indoors at night until after the last frost sounds like a good idea. That should be fairly soon for you, here in zone 4 our last frost is only about 15 to 20 days away. You're doing the right thing, bringing it out during the day to help harden it off before planting.

Hi Sarah, Since they've been so protected thus far, keeping them indoors at night until after the last frost sounds like a good idea. That should be fairly soon for you, here in zone 4 our last frost is only about 15 to 20 days away. You're doing the right thing, bringing it out during the day to help harden it off before planting. Keep doing that so it can get used to bright sunlight, as plants kept indoors can burn in the sun if they're just exposed to it all at once at transplanting.
Hopefully they gave you a bit of info about how big they get. Serviceberries vary widely in size, and some stay small and bushy (no more than 2 feet tall). Others grow to 20ft trees, and everywhere in between. It really depends on the variety.
Good luck with your plants, they really are delicious!
