Can I overwinter tall helichrysum?

I bought this as an accent plant and put it in several containers. This is a variety that looks a lot like a silvery rosemary plant, not like the small round leaved helichrysum called "licorice" plant. I think it is called "Icicle". I was amazed that it never got weedy looking (unlike the "licorice" plant), just grew taller and fuller. Can I dig these up from the big pots and bring them inside?

It looks similar to (but not exactly like) this:

(Funny, I tried linking to a better picture I found on that well-known site that has the name "Dave" at the beginning and _den at the end. Then I got a "Spam" notice saying I could not link to that site, that it was considered an ad and would get me banned!

Here is a link that might be useful: icicle

RE: Can I overwinter tall helichrysum?

I have grown icicle and it is pretty cold tolerant. It actually survived our winters here. It was highly intolerant of our summer heat and humidity however and rotted out. This says to me that you have a good chance of it surviving indoor artifical heating and the accompanying dryness IF you can supply adequate sunlight. The only way to know for sure is to try.
