Can these grow in containers or must be planted?

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.

It looks like your koi are still alive in there? Something you wrote earlier about reusing the pavers (?) made me think you had completely dismantled the pond!

Yeah.
Some build pics-

All of these neatly organized ones were removed. The ones on the slope also removed. The ones surrounding the pond, where flat, were left in place and need to be redone.
This area will be grass again and the top edge of that slope will have a fence, so livestock can graze.

I should of had concrete poured, instead of the pavers.
Still hoping to find a 30-40ft wide greenhouse frame, that's 40ft long, to cover the pond with.

Great to see your progress on your plans for a greenhouse.
For greenhouse foundation I used crushed road rocks over a leveled area.
When using cinder blocks to layer up short walls I used rebar to stabilize them and keep them from shifting.

It's for the pond, not plants.
