Q.Full sun and frost
I want a plant that can be grown in full sun but can also withstand some frosty nights. It would be in a container, not easily moved. Something which is drought resistant and doesn’t grow too tall.
Sounds like a potted Evergreen would be great for your zone and condition requirements.

I would also have you contact your Country Extension Office to get a list of plant specific varieties that will be hardy to your region.
