First time grower of M.basjoo

I am a long time lurker here, mostly frequent houseplants forum.

Anyways I was caught in the banananostalgia after seeing some of the pics here (I am originally from Southern India where I have seen them grow in roadside ditches) and ordered Musa basjoo from Florida hill nursery. Plants came in decent shape, small about 7" tall but healthy.

I planted them 10 days ago in a protected spot outdoors but I see that one of them has blackened leaves and looks kind of sad and wilty. Should I have planted in a container first and then transplanted ? Should I replant in a container now? Any advice appreciated.

Hope this basjoo survives its first spring (and here I was worried about winter survival :(
