"You might be surprised to learn that planting bulbs in a lawn is a really eye-catching way to show off some spring-flowering favourites. It's easier than you might think and is particularly effective if you have a dull patch of lawn that dominates your outdoor space. The trick is to plan your bulb planting so you have successive bursts of colour from different varieties at different times."
"There are two looks to go for when planting bulbs in a lawn that will enhance your garden. Either choose short-stemmed bulbs like crocus, muscari or snowdrops if you want to keep the lawn trimmed. Alternatively, opt for a wilder 'meadow' look with longer grass interspersed with taller bulb varieties such as daffodils and tulips. You can also choose different lawn ideas to mix up the look."
Planting bulbs in a lawn creates striking spring displays and suits both tidy and natural garden styles. Short-stemmed bulbs such as crocus, muscari, and snowdrops keep lawns trim, while taller varieties like daffodils and tulips pair with longer grass for a meadow effect. Mass plantings produce blankets of colour, while small groups offer a scattered, natural look. Bulbs can last for years and spread successfully. Choose a sunny, low-traffic area, follow an autumn lawn care routine, avoid very shady spots, and allow grass to grow longer from late summer to protect newly planted bulbs and retain soil moisture.
