As long as you give it a good soaking when planting and keep an eye on it for the near future, there is no reason why you cannot plant it out now.

Thank you better get the grandson down he is on a break from uni 🙂

What an unusual colour - I hope it stays like that once in the ground. My red one has gone purple...suggest if your pH is over 6 you mix a lot of ericaceous compost with the soil.

I'm going potty. Its an alkaline soil you need for a red one so scrub the ericaceous, I must have been half asleep...
