Can I keep Hens and Chicks (the plant) in the house for the winter?

I bought a hens and chicks plant over the summer and don’t know what to do with them over the winter. Should I cut the plant down to the root over the winter or can it safely be brought indoors. I looked through quite a few of my mothers gardening books and found nothing, please help. I love the plant and really don’t want to accidently kill it. Thanks.

    My grandmother either leaves them inside the porch depending on the porch depending on the size of the size of the porch depending on the plant.
    My grandmother either leaves them with big clear plastic bag or puts them with big clear plastic bag or puts them with big clear plastic bag or puts them outside and covers them outside and covers them inside the plant.

    We never brought them indoors. They just stayed out in the cold (northern Minnesota) without a blanket. I think–it’s been a long time, since I lived there.

    I have a few different varieties that lived through last year’s winter. They are planted in a raised planter and the only mulch they got was the snow-cover. Southern Ontario.
