Keep it in the pot for winter and bring it inside if you get frost or freeze. Then plant it next spring, it'll have plenty of time to establish before next winter. What zone are you? 8 or 7?

Yay! I bet it'll do great in your yard then. When it dies down, they just cut it back to the ground and it comes right back.

Yeah this is what I think would be best too. That way no unexpected cold snap gets it.

It should be fine, once it's in the ground, it will freeze back but return from roots, or seedlings that volunteer. When we had the massive freeze in 2021, everything froze. Yup, the petunias were the first to recover that spring.

When ours start getting out of hand around the pond during growing season, we snap the stalks off at the base to thin them out. You can stick those stalks in the ground or a pot and they'll root most of the time.
