You should wait until spring to plant it outdoors. I'm in zone 6b/7a and I have to cut mine back to the ground in winter and mulch well and it regrows from the roots. If you are in a warmer zone, you may not have to cut it back so much...leave it be until spring and cut off the dead parts.

Do a google search for plant hardiness zones or go up to the top of this page and click on "USDA Zones". I believe Better Homes and Gardens has a site where you enter your state and it will give you a map of zones by county
