Planting out cuttings

good morning. have taken several cuttings over the past 4-6 weeks. The good news is all are doing very well and I can see very healthy roots coming out of the base of pots. Now Im confused! Do I keep them in (bigger) pots over-winter - I dont have a greenhouse - or do I plant them in the ground now, not long before colder weather comes?
I have ; erysimum bowles mauve, which have already been repotted as roots showing.
euphorbia (dont now what kind), salvia Hotlips. None of these are huge, maybe 4 inches and this is why Im worried about putting in the ground before winter.

I have also tried rock rose, pieris and azalia which just look like little sticks currently but dont seem exactly dead, just not dong much - any advice please? Sorry there must be 20 questions here but any help gratefully received thanks

 

Hi @angievee .
Personally I overwinter cuttings in a pot before planting them out in spring..some go into a cold frame but I also store some in a sheltered corner in the garden .I make sure they in an appropriately sized pot then stand them in a bigger pot after first wrapping the pot they are in with bubble wrap. This ensures their young root systems are well insulated from the cold of winter.

If the 'sticks' aren't in the way I would keep them for a bit longer just in case they are slow responders. If by Sept you find that with a gentle pull they come out and have no roots then I would ditch them as they would be too young ( if they did eventually root) to cope with the cooler and darker days. IMO.

Wait for more replies though as this is just my way of doing things and might not be the correct way!!

 

thanks so much @Upsydaisy for the reply! I am tempted just to hide the pots in a corner overwinter so think Ill just re-pot up 1 size for them. Re the sticks they do seem solid (hardwood cuttings maybe!) so Ill just keep them overwinter as well and see what happens - it will a surprise in Spring I guess! Maybe I took cuttings too late in the season? Thanks again

 

You're welcome....surprises are fun, good luck!

 

You've done well with your cuttings and with Upsies bubble wrap idea (i like that) I'd be confident that you'll have some nice little plants shooting/emerging in the spring
