How cold does it get in the winter? I'm in zone 5b and I plant bulbs in containers every year, but I leave them out unprotected along the brick wall of my apartment's balcony. This is a picture of early tulips. I layer my bulbs and have them coming up from March through July (lilies). I do make sure they get water about once a month if it's dry. But the freezing weather has never seemed to bother them.
