I'd try to get it growing as big as I could until frost. Then I'd completely bury the whole thing in a large pile of leaves, then put a tarp over the top to keep out the moisture and wet weather. If it's three feet tall then it will live overwinter here in Indiana and we're zone 5, you are in zone 7. You should have a large advantage in overwintering vs our zone.
