Yes, 'Essie's Gift' is a very hardy and frost-tolerant form. As it is a result of crossing a NSW Telopea 'Wirrimbirra White' with a natural truncate hybrid, this has resulted in 'Essie's Gift' being extremely adaptable and reliable in various conditions, including frost. However, there is always a risk of some flower damage at severe negative temperatures, especially late in the winter. Also, growing 'Essie's Gift' in a position that gets shade from the early morning sun can benefit high frost-prone areas.
