I took the bulbs out of the container, can I plant them in the ground and if yes, when?

I am a novice at gardening. I thought I was doing the right thing by removing the bulbs from the container. The bulbs are all dried out. Can I or how can I save them and plant them in the ground? I still have 3 containers left? Thank you.

Most bulbs may be removed from the pot after all the blooms and foliage have died. Separate the bulbs from the old soil and store them in a cool dark place before planting them again in the fall.
