Overwintering Brugmansia

I am getting ready to overwinter my Brugmansia in a pot indoors.

Does anyone have any advice? It is a special plant to me and I don't want to lose it!

Should I let it go dormant and then bring it in? Or keep it growing through the winter?

I bring mine inside to a cool greenhouse, and cut them back when I need the room that they're taking too much of. We water them as necessary, but don't feed them. They can be cut back fairly hard and will re-sprout from old leaf scars. But if the stems are woody, don't cut back that far as they will have trouble sprouting from woody growth.
