Is it practical to plant them too close together in a pot to sprout and then divide and plant at appropriate distance when it's warm enough for them to go out?
The problem in doing that would be root disturbance, so either a few to a smaller pot and plant-out each pot when ready, or you could use a large pot and some vertical cardboard dividers to keep the roots of each group of bulbs separated from each other.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
I have started growing tender summer bulbs in pots. I just create a liner using a cut down plastic pot. I can then swap them in and out as they fade/bloom.
