If it was grown locally, so likely acclimated, I think it should do fine. If it was in a warmer environment then the challenge is that you are already well into the cold weather. I grow mostly outside. When I get plants in the fall, especially late fall, I ask the grower what the conditions were at the nursery. If it was being grown warm even though it's a species that can tolerate cold, I'll pamper it indoors through its first winter, then put it out in the spring where it has a full growing cycle to acclimate. (I live about an hour's drive from Andy's, same coastal climate, so I am lucky that his outdoor-growing plants come to me already acclimated. Most don't have that luxury)
