I would plant it now Foxosimo. It’s the best time of year to be planting IMO. As long as it’s not waterlogged. Lovely plant and a late source of food for pollinators.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
Bright star your reply has also answered mine. I wanted to know if they are hardy or not as I have three I want to plant out. Thanks, sorry to butt in Foxosim on you post.
I think it depends where you are and what your soil is like. They're hardy through most winters here on well-drained sandy soil and with a relatively dry climate (compared to places further West and North, anyway).
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
They don't do too badly here, considering our climate. Cold dry is fine for them, but it's wet cold that tends to see them off. Some of mine survive, but only if they're in the sheltered bits. Mine are in raised beds too, so that I can get the best drainage for them. Cuttings are easy to do, so always worth taking some. They grow quickly.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
