Sorry to ask so many questions so often, but I'm desperate to keep my lovelies alive.
I can plant outside in ~2 weeks (I live in 6b). Will she be OK in the cup until then or should I move her to a bigger pot?
Thanks in advance!

I think you know the answer

Yeah pot up but if you don’t have more space/bigger pots you still have options.
Looking at your plants you can pull them from the cup add dirt to the bottom then stick your plant into the same cup but with a couple inches of dirt for downward root growth. You should be able to basically move the root baseline level higher in the dirt by filling the cup more.

Pot up… if mine, I would break off lower leaves and bury as much of the stem as possible resulting in a very short plant which will grow and flourish over the next few weeks.

Absolutely pot up. Keep notes of what you did this year. And save everything for the following years. Cups, pots etc. That plant could have used a bigger pot 2 weeks ago. Maybe sow a week later next year. You’l be fine. It’s good to experiment to find out what works best in your area
