Yeah, I'd say as soon as there is no worry of frost or really cold temps, get it in the ground. Looks like it just needs some sun and a little TLC to really get going. I just bought one of these myself actually. Also, plants grow more robust when exposed to some wind. Just a natural defense mechanism of the plant that if it gets whipped around a little, it grows stronger. So I'm sure once you get this going outdoors you won't have any problems with it. Till then, just do your best to protect it a bit so it can take off!
