I am in Tasmania and my cyms are outside all the time with some dappled shade in the summer sun and they seem to thrive on it. I bring them indoors for a couple of weeks when in bloom. I am only a novice but I think they like to be outside in fresh air.

not sure what you mean by a "cascading type" and recommend that you read up on specific culture requirements for each type.
For example a dayanum should be grown in temps of 58-75f at night. I am not sure whether you can match this. The plants will however grow well, but you may never get blooms.
You have a beautiful grow-space and it would be worthwhile you investigating all the heat-tolerant cyms available.

Grow - yes
Bloom regularly - probably not, unless you can find some hybrids which do not need the cool temperatures to initiate flowering. Cym Golden Elf and its hybrids and the species dayanum and ensifolium hybrids are possibilities and stay on the smaller size. Give them the brightest light you can and lots of air circulation. Other warm growing species just get TOO big to handle in a small environment.
