    You should still be ok where you are replanting into the ground. The plant needs a few weeks to settle in before it can handle cold weather and if you are not expecting (below 45F) cold weather for at least the next few weeks, you should be fine.

    If you think that it may get cold in the next few weeks, I would bring them indoors and plant out in the spring.

    This generally indicates that it is not getting enough light, but can also indicate that it does not have enough nutrients. If you can get them more light, that would be best, but you can also try a fertilizer to see if that helps.

    High phosphorus fertilizer or bone meal should help with flowering.

    Are you fertilizing? If not, use a well balanced plant food according to package directions.

    If you suspect a fungus, then a general fungicide applied to the plant should clear it up. If you can find it, I like neem oil, as it is organic and also treats pests.

    These plants typically do not have very invasive root systems and are normally considered annuals in most areas anyway. I would, however, give them at least a couple feet of spacing away from walls or other structures.
