Given that it survives outside with me (in full sun, but exposed to
the wind), I wouldn't worry too much about being sheltered with you.

It may be a plant that needs good winter drainage, of course, and
plants grown from seeds vary, but I think that it is neglected in
the UK. I lost my Acacia retinoides in a frost that it shrugged
off and where my pomegranate lost its top growth. A hard winter
here of the sort we got 20+ years ago would kill it, of course, but
I would also lose my Solanum crispum and potentially my bay.
