Yep, you can leave them in tubs forever. They just need feeding in summer and every third year, remove the bulbs, split them and replace old soil with new. By splitting them, you get loads of bulbs for free!
Here is what I have all in the same tub.....
Bottom layer ..... Daffs
Second layer ..... Lilies
Third Layer ..... Smaller Daffs, Narcissus
Fourth Layer .... Tulips
Fifth Layer .... Crocus
Top Layer .... Snowdrops
This way you get flowers from February until September, pretty much non stop.
