    Tiger lilies are winter hardy in your area, if I'm understanding the climate correctly. You should go ahead and plant them now - you can put extra mulch over the bed to help protect them through the winter.

    You can go ahead and plant them. Since it takes a while for these plants to grow from seeds, rather than bulbs or transplants, you will need to be patient. Do not expect flowers for at least the first year or two.

    It would be best to wait until they are done blooming to move them to a new pot.

    Tiger Lilies require such little care, the only reason you might want to prune them would be to deadhead the spent blooms at the end of summer, but you actually don't need to if you don't want to -- they'll fall off in the fall and the main stems will dry up (you'll want to pull those out or cut them down either in the fall or next spring). There will be a main stem from which several lilies shoot out, each on their own "child" stems. You can "prune" your tiger lilies one of two ways: cut each individual dead flower off by cutting that flower's own stem, or wait till all the flowers on the main stalk are dead and cut the parent (main) stem almost all the way down.

    Spring is the best time to plant most bulbs, but Tiger lily flowers are so hardy that I've planted in early summer while the weather was still cooler, with great success. I've even separated and transplanted lilies in the middle of summer and although the transplanted bulbils didn't bloom that year, the leaves stayed green and I got flowers the following year.

    It's important to give the transplants plenty of water but don't keep the soil wet.

    Keep in mind that it may take up to five years before the newly-planted bulbils flower. This article may help you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/lily/tiger-lily-care.htm
