    You are in zone 5 and the last average frost date is April 15.
    You do need to take into account the weather you are experiencing now and make sure you are out of frost danger.
    You may also check your soil temps. Plants really won't like being in cold soil, so let those soil temps warm up to around 50 degrees F.

    If they are dying due to being overwatered, then it is likely that the soil has a fungal infection. The best thing to do now would be to add wettable sulfur and dolomitic lime to help it recover. Only water when the soil is almost completely dry.

    I believe that I have answered the original, and that this is a duplicate.

    You can propagate by seed, cuttings or dividing your plants; it depends on your patience level!

    I would wait at least 3 days after herbicide application to plant.

    From this image, your new plant looks in pretty tough shape. I would contact the seller to report the condition on arrival.

    My guess is the plant got to hot in transport.

    I would ask for a replacement.

    Yes, just let it dry out for a few days or a week before watering again. Try to determine the soil moisture content before you water again, by digging down in a couple of spots to inspect the soil to see if it's wet or not. A soil moisture meter is handy.

    Can you include more information? Did you plant these from seed? Were they alive beforehand, and did not come up after winter?

    If these were from seed, and the seed never came up, then there could be many reasons that they did not come up. Dead or old seed would be the first reason.

    Please include more information and I will be glad to help.
