Planting heather in my daff patch!

A year ago I moved into this house which has a very plain garden.  This suits me as I have two dogs who enjoy the space to play, and I have very little time for gardening.  The only 'planted' area is a strip along the front of the house which has a lovely show of daffodils in spring, and where the rest of the summer there are ugly yellow-flowering plants.  I'd like to dig it up and plant heather there instead (low maintenance and a bit tidier!) but wondered what to do about the daffodils, which I like.

Any of the bulbs you dig up planting the heather can just be replanted.  They are now dormant and can be moved.  They should be planted at least 4 to 6 inches deep.  They'll come up in the spring and be pretty much done with by the time the heather blooms... We have daffodils and tulips among a large patch of daisies and it works well...
