I find in the greenhouse that these plants do well at about 10C daytime
temperatures. They will certainly put up with less and I would think
they would find temperatures of around 15C no problem.

Its worth experimenting as I suspect a night time drop in temperature
will be more critical than keeping the daytime temperatures down.
