Default overwinter abutilon

Having lost a couple of yellow abutilons last winter (the pink
survived), I'm thinking well ahead about frost protection for the
replacements. Alas, I have no room indoors, and no greenhouse, so my
options are 1) a shed with no windows or 2) bubble wrap outdoors in a
sheltered location.
My questions are, do they need light and moisture in winter, or are they
like pelargoniums which seem happy with neither? Also, if wrapped
outdoors, do you leave the top open or enclose the whole plant? I'm
never sure whether plants are more vulnerable above or below the soil
level.
Thanks for any advice
