How to winterize petunia?

I have a petunia on my balcony and I am wondering if it will survive the winter outside. I live in Cleveland OH. Should I bring it inside?

How to winterize petunia?
Petunias are annuals and don't generally overwinter. Start with new plants in the spring.
Reply:Although petunias like cool weather, they are not frost tolerant. Keep them inside during the winter and wait until all danger of frost is past before placing your petunias back outdoors.
Reply:Hi petunias are annual, which means it will most likely die. It needs to be planted every year (its a seasonal plant) If you want a stronger lasting plant that will last year round, buy a perenial. A petunia likes the cold, and it needs to sun.
