I'm in HZ6a and was told early on that EMs do not survive dormancy, so I've tried and managed to get them to last the winter indoors with the help of a grow light in a back bedroom (normal house temps), but just barely. They lose a lot of leaves and get very stressed and, when put out the following year, their shape and ability to grow large again never seems to come back. Perhaps if I used the grow light more often/hours, but I can't afford to do more than I already do. I plan on reading more about the possibility of dormancy myself for this season -- I would certainly encourage you to give it a try, though, as we all have different conditions and successes --[and what have we got to lose by trying? Best of luck!
