How long to keep in shade?

Worden, IL(Zone 6a)

Just received some brugs a couple of days ago -2 everlasting and 1 varigated called sunset. I transplanted them into gallon pots and have placed them under a tree for the shade. When should I start putting them out in the full sun? The 2 everlastings, I thought, were dead, as they arrived shriveled and wilted. I almost threw them away. After 2 days, that have come back to life, Yipee!!! Thanks.

It isn't only the sun that they have to get used to. The changes in temps and speed of the wind are also a factor. I'd wait a few days yet. Especially since you just potted them up. They need to get rooted in before they are thrown into shock again. LOL! That is just how I would do it. Someone else might take another route.

I'd also wait till the roots take hold and they get over the shock of their trip in the mail.
