It would help if you said what your climate was like or where you are.

They need excellent drainage, in nature they often grow on sunbaked
hillsides, frequently in poor soil. They are adapted to very hot (often
dry) summers and cool winters where it doesn't freeze or snow but there can
be hard frost. They can withstand bushfires but not prolonged wet feet.
Given the choice of cold or damp my guess is that damp will do for them
first.
