When I empty my pots of annuals for the winter I replant them not with tulips but with daffodils.  I have used tulips in the past but then I have to protect them from the squirrels and cannot plant annuals over them because the bulbs with rot.  I buy bags of daffodils at Costco and fills any empty pot that will get watered by rain.  I also fill a planter across the front of the house but that I have to remember to water.  Daffodils are inexpensive so I just pull them out and dispose of them to plant annuals in the pots.

@DiAnne  I think daffodils would do fine in the soil.  We don't get a freeze often, and they handle rain well.  Mine come up in Spring, more each year.  I planted probably twenty years ago, and decided if they didn't survive, I would just buy more, but they did.

They do fine in the soil but by putting them in the patio pots we can easily see them through glass doors when the weather it too cool to be out in the yard.  I also really crowd them in so they look like huge bouquets.  I am going to use white ones in the front yard and yellow ones in the back yard.
