Dear Marta -
Hope you have been following the thread on potting new stock. I'm a believer. Then when you are ready to plant, and hopefully it is a bit cooler, you can put them wherever you want.
Mark Cook will probably weigh in on this, but one thing you might consider is putting them under shade cloth, especially after bloom season when the heat really comes on.
My guess is that eventually you will be sending them north to some other relative.
