Stipa Tenuissima seedlings

Hi, it's mid-Sept and I've just received some 15cm stipa tenuissima seedlings. Can I put them in the ground now or will the winter cold kill them off at this stage in their development?

I would think they will be fine, in a well sunny border with drained soil and perhaps some protection with a netting cloche to prevent them dry drying out in cold wind.
You could pot them on and put in a cold frame and plant out in spring, remembering to water occasionally. All depends if your garden will be sheltered enough going into winter.
