I think that you can leave it outside. If your Zone is 6 and over, it should do just fine.
I grew these in Texas, love them! I would just cover with a sheet on anticipated freezes and during snow they were fine. Make sure to remove in the morning (above freezing)or Sun is out so the leaves don't mildew.
