I live in northwest Ohio and I usually bury them under a ton of mulch. I've tried bringing them into the garage but forget to water them. I've found over the years that when I set them on the ground and mulch with shredded leaves, they do great.

I've always just left mine in the pots and they were fine, although I'm in zone 5. I don't even mulch, although it's easy enough. They are pretty hardy.

I live in southwest Washington State, and I've always left them outside next to the house. While our winters are mostly rain, we do dip down to below freezing December into February. I haven't done anything special to them. I'm between zone 8a and 8b.

Lived in WV and MD and simply left them outside. No mulch or anything. They did fine. A neighbor stole one of mine and hid it in her basement for the winter--it died--go figure. She confessed and returned the pot.
