As long as the bulbs are hardy they should be OK. It would help to insulate the container with some mulch. I potted some tulips bulbs and left it outside and they bloomed with no problem.

thanks for the advice concerning bulbs and freezing temps.
I actually have some bulbs in my garage that i haven't put in the ground yet, buy they have been chilled a long time. U think they would bloom this spring if i put them in the ground now? Marketman25@aol.com
