Jim SHields suggested for bulbs for a trough: >How about Leucojum autumnalis? L. autumnale (note spelling) is probably far too vigorous and leafy for this use. However, L. roseum would be appropriate (though tender). >For really tender bulbs, the small Nerine might be interesting. I >especially recommend Nerine filamentosa. Some of the smaller Cyrtanthus, >perhaps, but also tender. My Cyrtanthus sanguineus stays small in a small >pot but blooms. I can't imagine that there are any Nerine or Cyrtanthus that don't have large foliage. They would be handsome in a large planter, however. I don't grow them because they don't flower in this climate.
