It may still be a little early to plant them outside. I'd pot them up, and keep them outdoors when it's above freezing, but bring them in, to a cool but not freezing location in bad weather. Cut the foliage down to just a couple of inches.

Let them stay in the pots until you're well past any cold weather, and then install them. Chances are they're dormant, and will stay that way until April or May.
