Yes, as Stone said, go ahead and plant it. Maybe set it a little deeper than it is in the pot, and cut it back to 3 or 4 nodes from the ground, that will cause it to develop side branches and make it bushy.
Also don't set it in full sun, they are understory plants in our area, so partial shade is good. Also they do like water so don't forget to water it, especially in the summer.
