If your winters get below 10 degrees and it's not a Basjoo, I would either bring it in or kiss it goodbye. That's some serious cold.
Maybe... MAYBE you can mulch heavily and keep the corm alive, but I doubt you will keep the stem. From everything I have read on here, low 20's is pushing it with even the cold hardiest varieties, except Basjoo.
