Can I overwinter tall helichrysum?

I tried this in Annuals first but there is not much activity there now. So I thought I'd post here before it gets much colder outside.

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:

Here is a link that might be useful: Icicle

I have never tried with that particular plant, but its worth a try! I over winter my rosemary inside, just try and keep it in a sunny spot and don't over water.
