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.

Many many thanks all. Its overwintered here fine, but its the plants I cut
back in spring rather than last autumn that are full of flower?
