It was only 4 months, Hades tricked Pheresphone into eating 4 pomegranate seeds. Eating anything from the Underworld condemns you their for a month, so Pheresphone had to stay in the Underworld for 4 months each year (Winter).

In Greek mythology, Persephone spends seven months a year with Hades in the underworld because she ate pomegranate seeds given to her by Hades, binding her to the underworld. This act symbolizes the cycle of the seasons, with Persephone's time in the underworld corresponding to winter when plant life is dormant.
