How to plant blooming flowers in clay pots for year round color?

I want to plant from seeds a variety of blooming plants that I can hang from my patio. I live in the northwest, so I need to know what types will work in all 4 seasons.

How to plant blooming flowers in clay pots for year round color?
The only plants that might work are tropicals that won't work outside as they'd freeze. Even then they have limited blooming periods.





Clay pots dry easily and need constant attention to watering. In winter the moisture in the clay would freeze and fracture the pots.





About all I can suggest is planting evergreen shrubs in large containers to carry "plant life" through the winter and the add more pots of flowers for the spring, summer and fall.
