I have a spot in my yard where some giant hostas live. It think that would be a great area for spring-flowering bulbs. While shady in the summer, it is sunny in the spring, and the hostas should hide the dying foliage from the bulbs.
However, because of the configuration of my yard, this spot collects a lot of water when I water the yard in the summer. It isn't constantly wet -- like a stream bed -- but in the heart of the summer I do water a couple times a week.
I know many spring-flowering bulbs rot if they get too much water in the summer.
I am looking for bulbs that will naturalize -- I don't want to replant each year.
Do you have any suggestions for what might thrive and naturalize under these conditions?
