You could try covering for the winter. If in pots, add some foam packing to the bottom. This helps making lighter and the roots don't sit in cold or freezing water.
Hi Prem,
This would also depend on what zone you live in. If you live way up north they may not survive the sub zero temps, but if you live in a more temperate zone, they have a better chance. There are certain species of the same plants you can do this to that are grown to be cold tolerant, for a reference you could look in the seed catalogues that many companies send out and see if you have the plant that will survive the environment over winter.
Bringing the inside is best if you live in the north. You can cover them with burlap if your temperatures aren’t extreme cold.
