Most cultivars are hardy in your area, and some are even hardy down to zone 2 or 3!

They are quite well adapted to growing without intervention, so no action will need to be taken.

This article will help you to care for the plant:

I read that article before I posted this question. It doesn’t really tell me if I need to cut the plant down in the fall and possibly cover it with mulch? Do I just leave it alone?
