AHS says it's only good to 45 degrees F., and we did have a fairly mild
winter. However, it certainly was below 45.

I don't know where AHS got their temperature recommendations from, but most of the ones I've checked--and I don't check them that often--way understate the hardiness of most so-called tropicals. Half the plants in my yard would not survive, let alone flourish, if AHS numbers were accurate.
