Oxalis "Plum Crazy"....looking kind of sad

Cascade, VA(Zone 7a)

I recieved this Oxalis "Plum Crazy" plant from ebay, it arrived a bit wilted because of its transport, but watering it perked it right up, and over the weeks has showed new growth, but i was wondering if i could clip it back a bit to help with those really leggy stalks? I normally have it sitting by the window, but had to move it to the desk to keep the camera from washing it out from the light, lol.

Also i noticed that when i repot it today into a slightly larger container, that this is not a tuberous form of oxalis, so what would be the overwintering method for this guy. (left in a cool room, or experience the actual fall an winter conditions outdoors, etc.)

yes they do, mine died back in April, I have the Shamrock Plant and she's grown right back to where she was before she decided she needed a rest...
