It depends where you are. They are close to hardy, and are quite
commonly grown as deciduous shrubs in the open - in the warmer
parts, they have no trouble, but tend to get very cut back by
hard frosts.

I live in Northern Ireland. I could leave them in a sheltered spot
outside but presume they would be cut back by frost.
