I want to plant loads of Grand Maitre crocuses in my lawn so that they make a kind of purple ribbon in the spring. The area is about 6-7 feet by 40cm or so across, and I am going to fill it with about 300 bulbs.
Is it best to cut and lift the turf, plant, and then replace? Or to dig into the lawn with a bulb planter and do it individually?
The grass is quite a fine fescue (it's a shade lawn) and easily damaged, so I'm guessing that lifting might be the best bet?? Advice/thoughts?
