One should plant annual bulbs, like tulips, some varieties of daffodils, allium, anemones, etc., the attitude should be the same as planting ANY annual plants. Muscari is an annual but attracts so many honey bees!!!
Many daffodils do naturalize in our area, Italicus, Carlton and Fortune to name a few. Do not forget to buy Fall blooming bulbs like Oxblood Lilies and Lycoris.
Rain Lilies naturalize too. They are a wonderful bloomer for most of the year, given enough rain.
Watsonia naturalized here and comes in white, pink, orange and yellow. It is quite lovely as a border.
