A killing frost is expected this weekend, so my question is do i separate it from the main plant and pot it, or leave it attached till next season?

My original plan was to leave the whole thing buried over winter, but kinda wanted to dig it up and store the corm so i can better amend the soil next season, thoughts?

I agree with Boff, if it were my first plant I would bring the whole thing in for the winter.
The plant is still small enough to tuck in front of a window in a container.
Grab as much rootball as you can for better overwinter success and less stress to the plant.
