When to pot up

This year I decided to do cuttings of some of my favorite salvias instead of trying to bring plants inside for the winter here in the northeast. I waited as long as I could to take the cutting to minimize the length of time for being indoors. Well all the cuttings rooted very quickly and are in indivdual 3 inch pots. It is only early Nov. and I will have at least another 4 1/2 months before they can go back into the ground although if our winter isn't too severe and we get an early spring I could at least put them out on my porch or even into my mini 3 shelf greenhouse prior to planting them out. My question is how long can they stay in these 3 inch pots and still survive. I am sure they will be root bound before it is time to put them outside.
