3' to top of the leaves? Or 3' of stem? Add a pic and we'll be able to help better.

Unless you are in Zone 10 or better you will NEED to bring it in. You can either store bare root and dormant, dry and in a cool dark place or put it in a container a few inches wider and deeper than the corm/roots, put several inches of well draining potting mix below the root-ball, than place it in , fill halfway up, water in then fill up to the top and water in again. There should be at least an inch above the top of the corm to the lip of the pot. Place in the sunniest place you have, trim leaves back as necessary and monitor it closely for spider mites.

Good Luck
