I've heard that it's on BC's prohibited plant list even though it's not
invasive at all. Some bureaucrat apparently doesn't understand the
distinction between "naturalizes" and "chokes out native plants". And,
thanks to his or her ignorance, brings the law into disrepute.

If a law makes people laugh, it's a dumb law

Cyclamen coum will spread if your soil is not too acid and there's some
moisture in summer. It grows naturally in the hazel nut orchards of Turkey.

The answer varies. You do not get rid of Ornithogalum umbellatum, nor
grape hyacinths, nor Crocus tommasinianus nor Nothoscordum inodorum.
Others, dig them, pot them, price at $1 a potful, and put them out by
the street with a sign.
