As long as it is above freezing, it should be fine. Keep it well watered and fed over the summer, and bring it in as the nights start to get chilly in the fall--still well before frost! Indoors, keep it in a relatively cool room, and around mid September, start making sure that it gets 14 hours of complete, unbroken darkness every night--a closet or box can be helpful in this. That will start the formation of the flower buds and red leaves, after a couple of months.
