I can't figgure out how to do bulbs in the lawn. I have always planted bulbs in real gardenbeds and around mulched shrub areas. Its very cottage garden here and it is mulched just about everywhere. I actually have grassy pathways that are what is leftover of the lawn as the gardenbeds kept expanding. But I do have one open area of lawn left and I would like to keep it and not mulch or make it into gardenbed.
I could just see in my mind a sea of daffoldils, crocus, grape hyacith and maybe Iris reticulata and dutch iris. No tulips as that just seems like it shouldn't be in the lawn.
How to accomplish this? Do you just dig holes and plant directly in the grass? Seems like that might work for the really small bulbs but the daffs would have to go much deeper, harder to do. I always read plant daffs in drifts? Never figgured out how to manage that. Then it would look like who knows what when it was done with all the holes in the lawn.
Would all these bulbs come up thru the grass? They don't have any problems pushing thru the mulch around here. Would it better to stick to small bulbs like crocus and grape hyacinth?
