In Central Illinois, when will it be safe to go ahead and plant flowers in my wondowboxes?

Last year I had the most stunning display of wave and regular petunias. Really brightened up the front of my house. Do you think the frosts are over yet? When would it be safe to go ahead and plant them in?

gardening tip for better bloom....when you get the plants, pinch off all the blooms that are there, it will bloom much fuller and you'll have a better plant overall. I used to leave one bloom though to remember what teh color of that plant was....
