I have the Selloum growing in my side yard and when we have real hard freezes which we do ocassionally they will be mush, but come right back in Spring! We've been in this house since 1975 and these plants have been in the ground since then. They get huge and I think you should give it a try. Do y'all get a lot of snow/ice every winter in your area? We have temps as low as the low 30's here for a very short time in winter and once in a great while it's gone down to 24! The real low temp's don't last long though and luckily they are few and far between. Here's a photo of my side yard and these monsters:
