If you have somewhere frost free it doesn't need light over winter. You dig it up, cut off all the leaves and leave a stump. I then wrap that in fleece. It could go in a garage or cellar. In the house it will continue growing and you will need lots of room. for it.

This shows how I cut mine down last year.
