Can these grow in containers or must be planted?

Repotted all of the hosta into groups of 3 per pot and filled 7 pots with them.
Gotta put drain holes in one pot.
A few empty pota to fill once more poo is available.
Then I'll plant the new flower bulbs, plus the ones from last year I pulled.
Wind is nuts today. 60mph+

Well, ended up finishing early!
The pile is still massive.
Planting bulbs tomorrow.

Bulb lasagna planting method for pots.
To plant different spring bulbs layered in pots. Start by filling the bottom of the container with compost, then add the largest bulbs - tulips followed by a layer of soil . Next add medium size bulbs - dafodils, cover with layer of soil. Last add small bulbs - crocus. Cover with layer of soil. Spring season flowers will be a bloomin event. 👍

East Central IL, Was Zone 6, Now...maybe Zone 5
I didn't know what Bulb Lasagna planting was, so I looked it up:
It is also called "double decker bulb planting."

Got all of the bulbs in. Filled two more fabric pots for the 10 mix color Louisiana Iris tubers. These grow in full water in my pond, I have tons of regular yellow and I'm hoping these will be another color! 🤞
Used to have a Black Gamecock Iris. Slowest, smallest thing. Nice color, but good gawd, grew way too slowly!! I think it disappeared one year, too.

Lovely iris and some colorful additions for your garden. These iris will be the focus of your garden when in bloom.

I just hope they're not yellow.
They'll move into my pond eventually.
Older pics, bit of a disaster currently. $600 pumps(each) keep dying, algae, moved away, so on. Hot mess. Gotta rework it.
