Default I am new to gardening with Bulbs can you help a newcomer ?

I have just purchased some bulbs and I am looking for some advice as to
how to plant them. size of container, width apart e.t.c

The problem is sometimes I try to add to many bulbs to a container and
in the end nothing much comes about.

Please can you offer some advice as to how I can mix and match the bulbs
below to ensure a positive outcome.

I am a keen learner when it comes to gardening, and I know when to admit
defeat therefore, my flag is raised and any help the more experienced
people can give me would be greatly received.

The bulbs I have purchased a
Dutch Iris; Lupins; Asaitic Lilies; Peony; Lupin; Dahlias; Bleeding Heart;
Sea holly; Ismene Festalis

Only the first and last are bulbs, the rest are herbaceous plants and things
like Peony hate being moved and can take years to flower so are certainly
not much good in a pot.
