marjoram and temperature

I took some cuttings of marjoram last year in a big pot, and got an excellent crop. It kinda died in the winter, which I thought to be odd because allegedly marjoram can tolerate light frosts. I barely had even that. I kept replanting in the pot, throughout the winter, and it kept dying, even though I protected it from even light freezes. So I took the pot inside during a hard freeze, and transplanted some new seedlings in the pot. The pot has been inside for a week or more and the marjoram in it is EXPLODING. The lesson I have learned is that while marjoram may "tolerate" light freezes, it REALLY REALLY doesn't like even cool temperatures. It will stay inside until it warms up considerably outside.
