Your best bet is naturalizing bulbs -- that is, they spread on their own. Lots of different ones do, but by no means all varieties. For instance, there are fantastic varieties of naturalizing daffodils that will give you a lifetime of daffodils, but plenty of daffodil varieties don't naturalize. Same with crocuses, scilla, periwinkle.

I have daffodils that I dug up from an old home site where my grandmother planted them 75 years ago. The house is long gone and the land turned back into woods, but the daffodils still bloom every spring.
