It really does need a wall, it is burnt brown and loses all its leaves any

Also unlike the green leafed forms which will flower well in up to 50% shade
(but good light) the variegated sorts actually are shy to flower and require
max sun.

We have one growing up a pole here and it has made a solid pillar of
foliage and flowers extremely well. However while it isn't in a greenhouse,
it is on a path between two of them, so it's sheltered from the worst of
the wind and cold. I'd agree that a wall is the best bet.
