Welcome to container city. I simply cannot afford many fancy containers, so these are what I use the most for lilies and such. (Then I let the plants make them fancy.)

The first is a container from last year, and as you can see, it is plenty deep (about 10" in diameter).
The second photo has a black container that has false bottom, and as you can see, there is room for lots more soil.
You can tell that the third and fourth photos really let me move stuff around.
The last photo has lilies from last year on the right and the lilies in the center are the asiatic cocktail twins interspersed with oriental broken hearts (for a little variety).

I don't know how hard your winters are, but we just scramble them all up in light of high-wind storm warnings.

For the calla lilies, I think we'll make a new holding area in the basement. They winter well indoors.
