For the past 3 years I have cut mine back to the ground level, and cover them with pinestraw. I take the cut parts, trim them up and drop them into buckets of water, and keep them in the unheated fiberglass panel topped outdoor room all winter...well what I don't give away for postage here on DG. Mine come back bigger and bigger each year. The cuttings root and I usually give them to relatives who pass them along to their neighbors and friends.
The pix is of the Brugs last year...Each was a single stick when my sister in law gave it to me 3 years ago.They were twice this big this year.
I know this does not answer your question, but might be another road to check out.
There is no possible way I could dig these puppies up!! The last one we moved had to be dug up with a backhoe...I swear that is the truth!!
I am in zone 7 if that helps any.
