With only about 4 months left of warm weather it would not be good most likely to plant them in the ground now. But judging how quickly my original TC plant got to 4 feet, I am guessing these will be much bigger by then. What height do the pstems on a Veinte Cohol get, and how about in a container for those growing them that way. As is almost always the case, online sources say so many feet this, so many feet that, but it is usually counting, or not counting leaves so causes some confusion. I was going to overwinter in my greenhouse but after all I have read about them being so sensitive to cold, even for those growing them in warmer places, I am not sure now. Would it help to wrap the stems in there with burlap? I usually get about zone 9 lows in there in winter. Of course I am sure I can overwinter the corms, but kinda defeats the purpose with no fruit from a supposedly easy fruiter. I might have to try them indoors again.
