Answer Hi Kyle,
You'll be able to have it outside with some partial shade for the summer. I find hanging them under a tree that dapples the sun works very well. You will need to find a way to keep it in the house during the fall and winter. When temperatures begin dropping below 50 at night, it will be time to move it indoors. If it ever freezes, it will die.
