Doryanthes

I've been growing two plants of Doryanthes excelsa in very large pots in my
conservatory for some years, and one has flowered a couple of times, though
by no means at the height it attains in its native land. When I was in
Australia, someone told me it was hardy in Tasmania, which made me think I
might plant one of them outdoors here, but I see from the wiki description
that they're native to a much warmer area.

Does anyone have experience growing this species in an area that
experiences frost?
