  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

  They'll be best potted up to grow on for a while before you plant them out. Best to label every pot at that stage (don't ask how I know that!)
  

  That's the plan - pot up and hope they'll be ok in my cold frame, no greenhouse for me unfortunately (eyeing one up for the future).

  They're all hardy varieties so a cold frame should be OK. Close it at nights and on cold days to begin with, open on warmer days, and given that they look as if they've been grown under glass on the nursery, I would give them an extra cover overnight if a hard frost is forecast. Horticultural fleece is ideal if you have it but something like an old curtain or dust sheet will do, or even some sheets of newspaper or cardboard.

  Edit: and do regular slug patrols, particularly around the delphiniums.
