Dennis,
It would be far safer to sink the containers in the ground, and mulch
them in the late fall/early winter. When I had horticulture classes at the
University of Kentucky, they said that a plant had to have a Zone 3
hardiness rating to survive the winter in Lexington [KY] in an above-ground
container.
