Don't plant them out yet. From my experience and having killed a few.... grow them in the largest pots you can for about 2 years( they can go in ground for the warm months and will do best there) and when the corms(base of the plants) are very large I'm sure you will have better luck overwintering them outdoors. As suggested the cold hardy bananas section will provide you with a lot of knowledge and get you off to a great start. You can always post a question here as well. Good luck.
