I live in zone 5. I plan to plant tulip bulbs in containers and leave them in my unheated garage over the winter. I want to have pansies in the same container to flower in the spring. Should I put established plants in the container or can I sow seeds along with the tulip bulbs? If sowing seeds, do I water and fertilize when sown and then just leave over the winter, or do I water more often? When can I take the container from the garage?
