With plants you get in the mail, even if they were previously hardened off, they will go into shock if you put them directly outdoors into full sun. You need to put any plant that you receive in the mail into the full shade in a warm place and protected from the wind for a week or so to acclimate to outdoor conditions. Then after that period of time, put them outdoors into the desired locations. If they're not outdoors in a warm place in full shade, get them into those conditions pronto!
