Crocuses in the lawn are like little diamonds: plant them in your garden! –

One of the most beautiful things we can have in our garden in early spring are crocuses in the lawn. Today I will tell you about growing crocuses, watch this video:

Who said your backyard can’t be presidential? Yes, I’m in the presidency. Yes, here is a meadow studded with crocuses like diamonds! Crocus in the lawn can simply make a big impact in your garden too.

Crocuses in the lawn: when and how to plant

Crocuses are the first bulbous flowers to bloom in spring. Well, maybe just the snowdrops first. We already have a craving for flowers, the first leaves are just starting to burst, it’s too early to plant anything. And here it is: lots of rings! That’s why crocuses look really impressive on the lawn.

To achieve this, think about planting crocuses in the fall when all the bulbous flowers are planted. You can plant as early as September, but if you plant in late autumn nothing will happen.

Collecting sprouts: the most common mistakes

Crocuses, like other bulbous plants, should be planted at a depth of three bulbs, i.e. 3-5 cm deep:
– remove grass from the lawn;
– insert the bulb into the hole (make sure that the blunt end, where the roots will be, is facing downwards);
– cover it with the same sod.
The work is very fast, very simple and the view is impressive.

Are crocuses better scattered or planted neatly on the lawn?

Crocus flowers are very small, so I recommend planting many of them. Another ring will not even be visible. Therefore, it will be normal to plant a few dozen in a small area or a few hundred in the backyard lawn.

Crocuses can be grouped together to grow in clumps and ornaments can be made. Only when making an ornament should you consider that some crocuses may grow earlier, others later, so not all crocuses in the ornament will bloom at the same time, so the ornament may not even be visible or may be distorted.

I like the naturalistic look, so I would recommend taking a handful of bulbs and simply scattering them on the lawn: wherever they fall, plant them.

my review on the greenhouse harvest –

The crocus should grow in a sunny place. Since they flower in early spring, they are also suitable under trees. In early spring they still have no leaves and the sun is shining underneath them.

Crocuses in the lawn after flowering: what to do next?

In order for crocodiles to live as long as possible, and not just in one spring, they need to store food in a bulb. Photosynthesis is carried out through the leaves, thus producing nutrients for the following year. Therefore, the leaves should remain intact as long as possible, until they start to turn yellow. What does this mean for you? After the crocuses bloom, do not mow the lawn for at least another three weeks.

Consider the need to mow the lawn before planting crocuses. If your lawn is the pride of the garden, but will not be mowed for a long time in early spring, perhaps you should look for another place for crocodiles? And if nothing happens to the lawn without mowing it in early spring, crocuses in the lawn are a great choice.

And I remind you, don’t forget to think about crocuses in autumn, even if it’s already October or November, the main thing is that you can still put the bulb in the ground!
