    Yes, providing they are planted and receive the care needed, they will bloom.
    Yes, you can plant in a container. Give the bulbs a nice deep pot and good a top soil/perlite planting mix.

    A general rule is if the plant is crowded and shows signs of less flowers or stunted growth, it's time to split your bulbs.
    The best time to divide can vary, Fall is a good time, and gives the bulbs time to develop good roots.
    Spring division can be done, but you may have less flowers until the following year.

    They should not become invasive, so there is no reason to restrict their roots.

    I'm not sure what zone you are growing in.

    Tree Lilies are hardy in zones 4-8 and can tolerate the warmer temperatures that are in zones 9 and 10.

    The ideal depth for planting your Lily bulbs is 10 to 12 inches deep.

    If you are in a cold zone, and the bulbs did not have enough winter protection and insulation, they may have froze.

    Give it a few more weeks, it is still quite early. If you see no signs after that time, I would dig up one of the bulbs to check it's condition.

    Choose a sheltered location and add the insulation that you mention.
    Also make sure you mulch the tops of the pots.
    A garage location may be better if you have that option.

    Even though tree lilies can get to be tall, they do just as well in pots as they do in the garden. So plant them wherever you like.

    Tree lilies like partial sun and well draining soil. Plant your bulbs in autumn about 10 inches (25 cm.) deep, and water thoroughly.
