I noticed your location, and no wintertimes not great, but still rot will be eased by better soil, spring best, no doubt!
Thers some excellent c&s growers in your area, in summer outdoors you can get good growth!
Just make sure it gets protection from rain, like the eaves of the house or something.
I used to have several of this guys, i love that pattern!
I can't seem to fund them in the bbs anymore...
