I have a lot of perennials in pots on my 6th floor balcony, faces north, and I just leave them out, heavily mulched with cedar bar chips. I do water some in the winter, about one a month. I protect my spring bulbs by putting the pots up next to the brick wall. I have clematis, hostas, columbines, ferns, can't think of what else. It keeps just fine with just a little watering. I also use WiltPruf on whatever faces west and gets a lot of wind, like clematis and roses. I'm in zone 5a-b and get a lot of wind.

Here's a Sweet Autumn clematis about 2 years old.

You can do it!
