Default Growing Mutisia species

Does anyone here have personal experience with Mutisias?
They are not hardy where I am - I sow them, and grow them on in pots -
but my problem is overwintering. I then keep them in a frostfree
greenhouse. I keep them very dry in winter (according to things I have
read).
I have grown some species (M. coccinea - M. latifolia - M. ilicifolia
etc.) and all did well for one or two years. But then, after one
winter, in spring - just when I think they have survived - they always
throw in the towel and die.
Any advice?
Regards,
Roger.
