If your greenhouse has temperatures which don't fall below 55-60 deg. F over the winter, presumably because its heated, then yes it should be fine in there. Otherwise you will need to keep it in a brightly lit spot indoors over winter - you can move it outside during summer, but not before June begins.

45 F at night is safe, once it is hardened off, but not if it is fresh from a heated greenhouse.
