I like to plant crocuses around ground covers such as sedums (shown here) and snow-in-summer. They pop through the ground covers with no problem, and then when they're done the ground covers grow and hide them.
Then hens and chicks shown (green succulents) are evergreen. This combination is growing on the dry, sunny side of the house that gets no extra water and very little rain. All these plants take care of themselves.
A great idea, and you're not left with bare spots when they finish blooming. :)
