I don't, I like them en masse in the woods but I don't have any grass and think they'd be a bit too dainty to really work in a border? I have hellebores, a witch hazel, some sarcococca and a winter flowering viburnum (albeit it never flowers very prolifically).
But what I really want is late Feb / March flowers, in big enough quantities to tie the garden together instead of just one or two pockets of interest. And with plants that don't take up too much space when the rest of it gets going either. So daffs it is.
Currently thinking Thalia (white), actea or geranium (pheasants eye type), then maybe a peach like 'blushing lady' or a lemon yellow like 'Toto'.
Will probably add a load of tulip praetans shogun as well which is meant to naturalise well.
I have tried other wild tulips before and they come back every year for me in pots, but in the border are mostly blind. Hoping this one will be different
