Gardener names flower to plant in November for a 'magical display'
Nothing quite compares to seeing little flowers appear in the lawn just after a long winter is coming to an end. An early year sunny spot in the lawn that is home to many crocuses, ready to grow, flower and dieback all before the first cut of the lawn cutting season. Making them the ideal little flower for the garden lawn.
TL;DR
- Crocuses are ideal for lawns, blooming in late winter/early spring before the first lawn cut.
- Planting should occur before the end of autumn to allow roots to establish over winter.
- Choose a sunny spot in the lawn for year-round sunshine.
- Crocuses multiply and provide displays year after year.
- After flowering, let the foliage die back naturally before cutting the lawn.
- Planting methods include using a spade to create a turf square or a bulb dibber for individual corms.
- Planting with tips facing upwards is recommended.
