I  agree with David, here it is less tender and can take some cold weather.
In Ischia (La Mortella gardens) most of the plants we grow  outdoors are
left there and though in a very cold winter, such as this, all the foliage
is lost, the fleshy roots remain alive and shoot back in the Spring. However
we always  overwinter some plants indoors, as we need to have quick foliage
effect in March whan the gardens are reopened to the public.
