Planting out lavender

Hi

i bought a number of lavender plug plants at the start of the year and have potted them onto small 9cm pots. They been outside for last couple of months and seem to be doing ok. 

I wasn’t sure if I should repot them into bigger pots, leave them in there current 9cm pots or plant them straight out. 

Initially I thought reporting them to a bigger pot abs keeping them in pots until next spring then planting out. But then I thought I’d best check. 

Thanks 
Denis

    If they're filling those pots, it's fine to plant out now, assuming you have a suitable place for them. 
    If not, then pot on again. Whether you can plant out later in the year or wait until spring, will depend on your location/climate and how well they're doing  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    I agree - get them in the ground if you can. They're a good size and sturdy looking plants.
    With the hot weather the pots will dry out in no time and though lavender loves free draining soil, if the the pots dry out they die off quite quickly
