I have a few seedlings of these plants native to Western Australia. I am pretty sure they will not overwinter here well (rated hardiness is 8 or 9), but will they grow well this summer in my outside garden? What type of conditions do they like (especially soil)? If I cut back and bring in for the winter in my 60 degree basement, will they be OK with occasional watering?

Thank you!
