Plant thief!

Message-id:
I've found that snowdrops and daffodils work well; that was in an area
where the long roadside verges were tractor-trimmed every summer for
safety reasons, so anything summer flowering would have been pointless.
Daffodils spread, and stay for years. Another non-native plant to keep
to your
own gardens
Load of cod, haddock.
If you must, try lily-of-the-valley, or periwinkles (Vinca) or wood
lilies, or
trout lilies, or whatever is NATIVE where you are.
None of those is native here.
Wild narcissus (narcissus pseudonarcissus), which is the one I planted,
is native here. Snowdrops arrived in Britain about 2000 years ago; while
they are not strictly native, they are widely naturalised.
