How hardy is Tecophilea?

For what it's worth mine grow in a unheated hoop house in 1 gallon black
plastic nursery pots, they saw temperatures of 17 deg f last year and 19
deg f this year for several days in a row. Its blooming right today and has
been open for about 4 days. I'm guessing the next month is its most
vulnerable time to exposure to freezing temperatures?

Do I dare try them here in Zone 5/6 in the ground?
Heat/humidity/fungal load is the culprit here. Easy in a USDA 5B-ish
climate in a well protected frame, not so here in eastcoastal 8a.in the
garden nor the GH.
