Strange thing is that the books say Centradenia needs a min of 13C but I
have had a couple growing quite happily in a cold glasshouse.

I've had it overwinter outside well here for several years, which
backs up David's comments about it surviving in a cold greenhouse.
Left to the vagaries of a typical Torquay winter, it will (if given
perfect drainage) become deciduous, but reward with vividly coloured
new shoots in spring.
