Monique, often these cold hardy succulents (like semps and other alpine succulents) get mixed in with the tender succulents, and they don't thrive. The needs for these 2 groups of plants are very different, they both like to be watered less than tropical plants, but one wants cool temps, and the other warm.
Personally I no longer plant these together. There are enough varieties of each type of plant to fill containers with what you want.
To answer your question about will they do okay where you live - if your temps get above 24c and it is sunny, I'd provide some shade. They can handle full sun when the temperatures are less. Also they need a cold period to get the pretty colors. In warmer temps that don't get below 8c they probably will be green. But they will produce offsets and could be healthy, just not the interesting color changes that happen when they get colder temps.
@plantmanager I think with your summers they'd need a lot of shade and whatever you could do to provide some cooling. But they'd love your winters!
I tip my hat to you.
