Ho hum, not even in London then. The RHS website lists them as
somewhere between "May need winter protection" and hardy, which I would
guess means that they'll take a light frost. Winters are getting warmer
...

Some species of diascias are hardy, though they prefer a sunny spot and
don't like cold damp shade. I have had one growing outside in Yorks for
several years, and now I have moved it into a sunnier spot it is really
romping away.

Chris Boulby is one of the holders of the National Collection (and a
former urgler) - she overwinters some indoors but keeps many of them
outdoors in Northumbria.
