How much longer should I water my perennials?

I live in northern Wisconsin, and I have two potted perennials (lilies and mums). I’m wondering if I should water them throughout the winter, because once the soil freezes, pouring water on them will be kind of futile. Even if the soil could absorb water, when it’s 20 below 0 the water will freeze before it can sink in. Or should I keep them inside?

    The pots are perennial in nature so they should grow back on their own for you can sit out over the winter without bursting leave the plants in them outside both lilies.
