I'd bring it inside over the winter, as I'm not sure they are up to frost.

They may well survive a winter outside, I had one that reappeared for
many years left outside in the ground, depends on where you are and how
much frost you get this winter. Wont survive in a pot though, if it's
in a pot you need to bring it in.
