Can I plant Anna's Red hellebores now?

I bought some Anna's Red Hellebores at the garden centre with the intention of planting them straight away as it has been so mild (and wet!!) for months. However, the weather forecast has suddenly changed to sunnier days but with frosty nights (down to -2 this coming week). The last couple of days I've been putting the pots in the garage overnight and taking them out during the day. Should I keep doing this until there is no danger of frost or do they tolerate being put in the ground right now even with frosts due? As it is has been so mild for so long the ground here is not frozen.
Any advice much appreciated! image

    Thanks for the feedback and no thankfully the ground is very soft here as it's been so mild for so long so no problems on that front. And thanks Verdun for the tips about how to plant - they're going in the ground this afternoon and I am now armed with fleece to be on the safe side! image
