Tulips and spring bulbs after flowering

We have lots of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in pots. They have finished flowering and we have deadheaded. We want to keep them in same pots- is it ok to move the pots into a more shady area? I suppose my question is, ideally do they pots need to be in full sun or is that too hot for them? We like in south east with warm temps and no rain predicted for next two weeks...

    They don't need direct sun but they do need light so move them to a quiet corner, give them a good feed and remember to water them till their foliage dies down completely.

    Daffodils start pushing out fresh roots rom late August so make sure they get a drink from then onwards but also let them drain so they don't rot.
