Can these grow in containers or must be planted?

Well, that was stupid.
Rained before I got a pic of what was on the labels....
From seeds kept from last year's plants. Hibiscus, marigold, white 4oclocks, pink 4oclocks, something else that I'm forgetting....
Disappearing ink, just a bit of water and your secrets are safe! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Need to pot up, but no one really makes wide pots, always TALL. Or if it is wide, it's freakishly shallow. Or crazy narrow bottom with a very wide top.
I don't want more long tall pots, low to the ground, please!
And this is all I could find that's almost what I need. Not local, of course. Nothing on amazon. But at least it doesn't have an absurd price tag! 40-200 for a pot, like, cmon.
I like the red, not for this plant and room, so I'll have to paint it or over it. Ugh.

My old green/brown pot looks good with it. Too bad its too small.
Old pot it came with is the tan one.

I'm so annoyed that I forgot I had this...
Can make all the waterproof planters I want! Make my own planter for my current in need plant. 🧐
Though, I need a thin wood/material for the outside. Oh! I have some wanescotting board I could use from a weird CD tower project! 🤔
Now to wash n dry this thing.
