Russell,
For what's it worth, I grow Cephs here in Canada (near Niagara Falls) in
a green house I keep heated to about 5C at night. On very cold nights,
I've had the odd frosts on cold January nites and the plants seem no
worse for wear! The seem to multiply and flower every year! Might I
suggests putting a couple out in the greenhouse for a test run.
Sincerely, Carl J. Mazur
