Does anyone in urg grow this outdoors in the garden (in the UK)?

I've just seen it for sale in Scotland but have some doubts about the vendor's
hardiness claim

We usually have it but sell it in our 'Tender' section. It depends what
hardiness they're claiming for it really. Most seem to think it won't
go below -5C and certainly not for prolonged periods. Frost-free
gardens which can offer shelter, sun and good drainage would probably
keep it but the majority don't fall into that category, so we'd call it
more of a conservatory plant.
