Yes, they will regrow next year, leave them to dry out, and then repot them in the spring :)
If we have a winter like the last 2 I doubt the shed will stay above freezing, so keep an eye on the temperature and wrap them up nice and warm if necessary.

Once they are dried off, you could wrap them carefully and keep them in a drawer indoors in a cooler room for the winter  :D

Saw this variety featured on "Love your Garden" yesterday with Titchmarsh. It is beautiful.
