Anyone in zone 10 have experience with Pride of Barbados?

Anyone in zone 10 have experience with Pride of Barbados?

I live in the valley in LA (zone 10a), and I’m wondering if anyone in my area or a comparable zone has experience with this plant. (I don’t own one yet, the pic is from google.) Specifically, I’m curious about the extent to which it goes dormant in our winters. My understanding is that when faced with a frost, it dies back and has to be cut back pretty substantially. However, I’ve heard mixed things about whether or not it actually gets cold enough here for that to happen. Anyone have first hand experience and able to answer? Thank you! 🙏🏻
