If your plant is in a container, you could move it in now couldn't you?
Also, this plant roots VERY EASILY. I've even rooted them in water.
Maybe you could anchor a couple of vines from the mother plant into a separate container and get a start of new plants, and you can also take cuttings and root them in water. I did that last year with success, but didn't watch them and let them die. The roots became massive and I should have potted them up then but didn't.
They continued to bloom for the longest while in water too.

However, this year I already have a couple of vines rooting in soil from the mother plant before I cut it away. This plant will have long vines that I hope will continue to bloom right away. . .
AND, I will also be rooting cuttings in water again to see what luck I have with them over the winter.
We never know in Texas when we will get our first freeze. It just 'appears'.
So-
when that day comes I'll be pulling down all of my vines to save as many seed pods as I can so the freeze doesn't get them.
We've had a couple or so days of 39 & 40's, but the temps are going to start climbing back up to the 70's to high 70's over the next week +. Then who knows after that!
Right now my ACAPULCO BLUE is still blooming away and I should get seeds this year from it without a problem.

Do let me know if you need more seeds.

Here are photos that I took a couple of weeks ago.
Most of these the temps were cool here so the blooms didn't open until LATE DAY, and continuted to stay open through the night. Some photos were taken at 8pm.
