Lavender hidcote cuttings

First attempt at cuttings, very pleased as 8 out of 10 have rooted and are growing new leaves Smile. Have potted them individually and they're outside in a sheltered place.
Can't find any info about what to do next.
Should growing tips be pinched out? When can they be planted in the ground? No greenhouse to overwinter them so hope they'll be OK outside.

Just keep growing them and pot them on each time the roots start to poke out of the bottom.

I have planted mine at anything from barely more than a twig to a fairly chunky plant, and I can't say it has made much difference to the success rate.

I think they should be fine outside over the winter.
