You mean purple sprouting brocolli? What size are the plants you have? It's quite late to be planting them out, so hopefully they are already quite big.

Once they are reasonably tall - 6 inches or so - they can go outside. Smaller than that will probably be eaten by slugs. They need fertile soil. They prefer neutral or slightly alkaline conditions. They grow very big - 4 feet tall and wide so plenty of room - and they need to be staked to prevent the wind lifting them out of the ground. They don't need frost protection once they are hardened off.
