The tough part here is that the bulb have to produce roots. You can pot them and bury one to two feet deep somewhere in the garden. You'll have to either carefully removed from pots roots and all in the spring or grow on in the pots and put in ground when they die back in July or August.

The bulbs are for another location which is currently too wet and snow is
expected.

What's the difference between planting them, and planting the pot ?

Subject: [pbs] wintering-over Spring bulbs in pots
I am in HZ5 in Connecticut and due to exceedingly wet weather I am
unable
to finish planting Spring bulbs of camassia and allium. Does anyone have
experience potting-up such bulbs (Pro-Mix) and then sinking them into the
ground so the bulbs are at the proper depth and covered so as to avoid
freezing and thawing? I plan to dig the pots out in the Spring and plant
the
bulbs
in the gardens. This idea suggested by a reputable local bulb wholesaler.
I appreciate any experienced advice!
Carol
