How to use same container for tulips and summer annuals

I have a large wine barrel that I plant my tulip bulbs. It makes a lovely display in the spring, but the foliage doesn't dry out and wilt before I need to plant my annuals. Can I cut off the foliage before that, or is it just not possible to do both in the same pot?

Doug says it is not possible to do both in the aame pot. The cultural requirements for them are totally different (e.g. tulips don't want to be watered during the summer while annuals do).
