Just back to an obvious leaf joint. Really just nipping out the rough, wilted looking top growth to a healthy looking spot. It'll help it establish a bit more easily. Keep it out of extremes of weather for now to give it a chance- not full sun, a place with some dappled shade where it also won't get annihilated by wind/rain for the next month or two
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I bought three this year from Lidl. The one in a dry, sunny bed at the front of the house is romping away, but two planted alongside climbing roses are looking wilted. I thought it could be due to the rotted manure that has been dug in around the roses last autumn so I have lifted them and repotted in fresh compost and popped them in the GH for the minute. We'll just have to see what happens. There was very little flimsy root when I lifted them.

It's so difficult to know, it could well be a combination of stuff! Who made gardening so difficult!! 😀
Again - it can be a matter of luck. Some people will have a perfect spot, and ideal weather conditions, and the variety they have will be able to cope. However, it's rarely worth it. The plants simply aren't mature enough to cope with being stuck into a big bed or border when they've been cossetted indoors, and are really just the equivalent of a cutting from last year. You'll be surprised how big a difference it can make just potting them on fro a couple of months.

I totally believe you! Will be potting them up this evening 😀
