i havent done this personally but i know it can be done. and i think you can overwinter them also. my dad is doing just such a thing this year and the spears are already 6 inches tall on the ones he planted.

Glads are great to grow in containers on the patio ... but remember to use nice deep pots. The flower spikes can grow quite tall, and will make a nice screen, but keep them out of areas with strong winds -- they tend to break & topple over.
In terms of overwintering them in the garage, if it's unheated the bulbs will freeze and won't grow back the following year (I'm in a zone 5 and can attest to this lol). Storing them in the cold room works great, or in the fridge if you'ce got a spare in the basement.

I would love to have large planters on the deck---- a screen of flowers.
I'm zone 3 so bulbs have to be dug up. If I had them in planters could you over-winter them in the garage??
