Both these plants grow in a wide variety of areas. Around
here, I don't know if it will ever get warm this summer (we just got
another 15cm of snow the past couple of days!). However, out on
both coasts, where these plants naturally grow, it has been above
0 for several weeks. I think your plants will be fine. Just make
sure the temperature change is gradual (just leave them outside)
and you shouldn't have any problems.
