Kentucky 😔 (Zone 6a)

How big a container..wrapping ......Christmas lights underneath wrapping on a thermostat, pipe heat tape around a pipe next it it wrapped ? Tenting ?

You could try any of those, they may work, and do work to help keep the pstem alive for plants in the ground.
If it were me, I'd cut it off and bring it in, keep it dry until it warms up.

Will it ever be planted in the ground?

Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
