The plant can tolerate a few degrees of frost and in a sheltered place our winters should not be a problem, provided the foot of the plant is protected.
The plant will sprout again in the spring with fresh new leafs. Then cut the plant back to 30/40 cm and put a large layer of peat on it so that the roots do not freeze.
