Spirea-now what?

 I have 4 rooted cuttings of Spirea bullata, a cute little shrublet with
thick dark green curly leaves and small rosy spirea-like flower clusters
that blooms sporatically throughout the summer.   It rooted easily in about
4 weeks in sand and perlite covered  with a clear plastic lid and kept in
the shade. Now that it rooted I potted them up individually in standard
Sunshine mix. Should I bring them in under artificial lights to get more
growth or just leave them outside and mulch them heavily under salt hay to
get them through the winter? Any suggestions welcomed.
It is deciduous and has not started to turn nor have they been exposed to
frost yet.
