    I don't plant out anything that small at this time of year, unless there's perfect conditions for them. I tend to grow them on, possibly into a slightly bigger pot for a while,  and then plant out. 
    Lychnis are pretty tough though.
    It largely depends on the climate and conditions where you are though  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Personally l would break up the rootball,  repot it with some fresh compost (or whatever you have available) into a slightly larger pot, and wait until new roots show through the bottom of the pot.
    I've seen plants arrive in far worse condition that that, a bit of TLC and they should be fine  :)

    When do they refresh the plants?

    I've got an order of delphiniums due in the next day or two. They were ordered a few days after my first order, so it will be interesting to see how they arrive.
