These are so beautiful, the contrast of the dark, almost black teeth against the powder blue rosettes is so striking. I have one in the greenhouse that I really should plant out in strong light.

From what you’ve described, your area is definitely dry enough and warm enough. I don’t see a reason for it not to be in the ground in a well lit area.
