Treat like a Dahlia in so far as you can either lift and store the rhizomes dry over winter or if you are in a milder part of the country, you can leave in situ with a thick layer of mulch over the top or pop a plant pot over the crown for the winter.The just need to be kept frost free and on the dry side.
