Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) questions

Hello. I am new to the forum, and I thought I would ask for some advice on my recently purchased windmill palm. I live right outside Wichita, KS, right on the line between zone 6/7. I purchased a windmill palm that is about 4 feet tall. Currently, it is in a pot in my house. I am waiting to plant it in the ground until spring. I have several questions about this plant. Kansas is known for its clay, and my yard is no exception. How should I plant the palm to allow it to drain? Also, how often should it be watered, especially during our hot, dry summers? And come next winter, what is the best way to protect this palm, as temperatures can and sometimes do stay in the single digits for prolonged periods of time...thank you all in advance for your advice!
