The important thing is not to bury them too deep. They have little reddish 'buds' at the crown which are their growing points, and if you can keep those a bit proud, or certainly near the surface of the soil, that will ensure they grow and flower well. If too deep, they're vulnerable to rotting.
It's probably worth putting them in pots just now though. They're hardy plants, but just tuck them somewhere sheltered for the winter, and plant out in spring.
