Hi Deb,
I'm a Lilies lover (as my screen name implies). Where I live spring arrives here rather early. My established lilies already are poking their nose through the ground and mulch. But where you're. I'd pot them up in 2-3 bulbs in gallon pots, or if you prefer to keep them singly you need something like sterifoam large cups that is deep and roommy for the root to grow. I'll puncture those cup and provide ample drainage. They're quite hardy, so cool temp. in unheated garage would be ideal. But, light is an integral part to help them take off. In late May (or when your temp. is consistently cool, but without frosts), you can transplant them safely out to their permanent home in the garden.

Even here in my zone, in years past I've some left over lily's bulbs. I used the mentioned method to pot them up, and transplant those lovelies out after danger of frost. They shined wonderfully for me.
Happy gardening.
