Chiondoxa would work for a few weeks of spring color. I found some growing on the edge of a salt marsh near me. The soil is pure muck, for a century people dumped coal ashes in this marsh and several times a year the area where the chionodox thrives is under very brackish water. Its also a few hundred feet from the New York/Boston railroad, this part of which was built before the Civil War. Who knows what they tossed in here.
