Yeah, if you're not going to take them in for the winter, there's no reason you can't just plant em in the ground. You might wanna be careful to acclimatize them to full sunlight...maybe use a shade cloth for a week or two or something. Otherwise, if it gets too cold and you need to bring them in for winter, I'd plant them in a pot...but you're probably good in your climate. Also, watch the watering...don't overwater....wet the soil well when you water, but wait till it gets a bit dry before watering again. Also, do NOT water during the hot part of the day...early morning and late evening are best. And you don't need to water the leaves (especially do not get them wet under the hot sun...they'll burn to a crisp!).

Hope that helps! Best of luck!
