Ornamental cabbage survived winter. Now what?

Newbie here. Last fall as soon as the summer heat broke I went to buy a flat of pansies and the nursery owner talked me into buying two beautiful ornamental cabbages to plant with them. The cabbages died back during the 20-degree cold snaps of December and April, and I really didn't think they'd return, but this spring they began putting on new foliage and flowers. These are cold-weather plants, though, so I can't believe they will survive a southeast Missouri summer. What should I do? Let them fend for themselves, or take them up and bring them inside for the summer? They're in a shady bed that gets about 2 hours of mid-day sun.
