Correct Way to Store Glads for Winter

Question

I’m very confused. I live in Dayton, NV. I have been told to ‘pull” my glads for the winter and ALSO been told to leave them in ground. It can get below freezing here, but not too often, and very little snow in the winter. I’ve been told I’m in zone 5 and also 6, not sure which one is correct. Can you please give me some guidance? Thanks.
