Hello experts, embarassing novice here. I took some cuttings from my perennial wallflower in about June time and they have really taken well. Can I plant them out into the beds now for next year? Likewise, I have strong young hollyhock, echinops & delphinium plants, about 4-6 ins high - fine to go out now or should I wait? Thanks as always, I never act before I hear from you guys!

I think they are much too small. They are all loved by slugs and will be gone by the morning.
I keep mine just under cover in a cold greenhouse, cold frame or plastic greenhouse, when Spring comes they will be much stronger plants and stand a better chance.
They will bloom next year but will come into their own the following year.
The b mauve gets leggy so you did right taking the cuttings. There agsin, plant out in Spring.
Snap!
Thanks Lyn and Verdun - knew you'd point me in the right direction! Will do as you say
