I'd call them borderline hardy. They are native to South Africa and grow well in Western Australia. One US website says they are hardy down to zone 9 - which is quivalent to our climate in Cornwall. I'd expect to lose some, if not all, in a hard winter.

Mix extra sand and grit into the soil, and plant them a little deeper than it says on the package. A temporary much in winter could also help.
