More plants -- are they "good"?

As a continuation of my study into "plants that deserve to be in the trade", I offer this new list (another baker's dozen):
 
Cupressus sempervirens horizontalis
Halimium atriplicifolium
Cyclamen rohlfsianum
Diospyros lotus (outside the Med.)
Backstonia perfoliata
Convolvulus lanuginosus
Scabiosa crenata
Galega pratensis
Tulipa orphanidea
Leucojum trichophyllum
Narcissus elegans
Iris planifolia
Romulea bulbocodium
 
Have any of you grown any of these?  Did you find them satisfactory?
 
Do any of you have any other experience with them (in the wild?) and found them wanting in some way as garden plants?
 
What insight can you offer as to the garden-worthiness -- or UNworthiness -- of these goodies?!
 
Marketing factors aside this time.
 
Thanks,
Joe
