You could but you'd probably be better off putting them in bigger pots for the winter and using the time to very thoroughly dig the bed they'll be going in to remove all traces of weedroots....then plant them out when they start showing in the spring... that's my plan anyway (and I've got about 70 of the darned things).....

Thry don't need to be cluttering up your GH unless you've got tons of space... the roots are hardy.... I'll be leaving mine outside, otherwise apart from the hassle of hardening off I wouldn't have enough space for the domestic authorities flowers and all of the seeds I want to get started in the propagators....
