This time of the year you could leave them in full sun in pots or in a temporary bedding. But, frosts and freeze warnings seem to start in TV beginning mid-December. The plants you buy now probably have been hot-house grown so they may be more sensitive to cold. Any frost would probably kill them so you would have to bring them inside or cover them very well.
Sprinkler watering never seemed to bother our year round plants.
