well it depends on a few things. they are weeds so given the right things it needs sure it would grow. but the plant would grow to be weaker than if you were to transplant it in the ground,especially if it wassnt getting enough sun, its not warm enough, getting enough water, or the proper nuets. but if u give it everything it needs then it will grow. its just the chances of human error are greater if you were to plant it strait into the ground.
