or might they look
reasonable through the winter in an otherwise bare bed?

In Scotland it's annual. I've always pulled out the plants in Autumn
so don't know if they would last through winter; why not just try it
and see what hapens to them?

About half of them still look pretty good - I think I'll resist my
autumn-cleaning urge, as you suggest ...
