What About Mexican (and Probably Mexian) Hymenocallis, First Winter

Hi,

How do I overwinter some seedlings? They germinated in summer, and are
mostly doing fine, but short days seem to be enticing them to go dormant.

I can leave them outside, in pots of good soil that drains well, or I can dry
them down, or I can find room for some indoors under lights.

I have thought about leaving them outdoors but covering the posts with
see-through plastic. The soil won't freeze but frosts of 20-25 can be expected
several times--with the next day always rising above 32 F.

Advice appreciated, even random speculation or guesses.
