My two thoughts are overwatering and/or possibly freeze damage. Because your plant is in a container, its roots are more vulnerable to cold weather. You can wrap burlap around the container to help with this. Then in spring, you can plant it in the ground if you desire. Let the soil dry out between waterings, and you don't need to fertilize it.
