Not only are they sensitive to cold but the slugs and snails love them, so provide really good protection from the minute they are planted. I often take the base and top off a plastic bottle and put that around them.
I agree, don't even put them in an unheated greenhouse. The two trays I did that with are now all looking yellow and sad whereas the third tray which is still in our lounge are going mad.
Mine are in the GH inside bags, I thought I read they could go in the GH?? I'm sure one is starting to germinate too and only sowed them at weekend, but the temp hasn't gone below 6c this week.

I've brought them inside....silly me, hope I've not damaged them
I had some self seed in my tiny inner city yard - they'll probably survive OL, but they will sulk while it's not warm enough for them.
