They don't need to be covered in winter. In fact, most hardy succulents don't need to be covered at all in zone 7, even if there is snow. As long as their soil is well draining enough the plants will resist a spring thaw.
The only time covering is helpful is when you're trying to grow a plant that's just barely hardy enough for you to grow. For instance, if you were trying to grow a zone 8 plant and the temperatures were approaching 10°F. A sheet would insulate the plant just enough to survive.
