Since they are in a container, bring it inside a frost-free garage, shed or basement during the winter. Move it back out after the threat of frost has passed in the spring.

Do not bring inside a warm house as that will prevent flowering next summer.

Or, you can dig them up as if they were in the ground to overwinter. Here is how:
