keeping sun star outside

i just bought a sun star plant...it is potted and i was wondering if it would survive being kept on my deck in a sunny location over the summer. if it can be kept outside, when should it be brought inside...what low temps can it tolerate etc....?

thanks

"Sun Star" (Ornithogalum dubium) does well in full sun to part shade. Discontinue watering in the summer. You'll need to bring it indoors in the winter as it is frost tender....zone 9+
