I think these are intermediate growers - I haven't tried it outside during winter, but do keep my home quite cool in winter (53 overnight, low 60s days, evening - unless weather is just warmer and makes my home warmer) - and as you can see, those temps don't bother it at all. I don't know about much lower than that.
The winter daytime temps outside should be fine, but I don't know about overnight low temps. (where I am, we're typically low-mid 40s, some upper 30s, very occasionally mid-low 30s)
Ok, I'm checking IOSPE - aberrans is a cool-warm grower, but atroviolaceum is warm-hot. (hmm, could be why my atroviolaceum had trouble this winter, tho, previous years, it has been fine, so

)
The Aussie Chip growth and blooms seem to take after aberrans more than atroviolaceum - so maybe it will also take the cooler temps as well ?
