Flower bulbs in the grass
Flower bulbs in the grass
Some flower bulbs also feel at home in the grass or lawn. I am thinking, for example, of crocuses, daffodils and ornamental onions. This makes the lawn less boring and you create nice walking lines in your grass.
In the grass you can plant a wide strip of daffodils on a strip where you do not walk or where you walk along, and also in that spot you can also plant ornamental onions that bloom during the summer. What you need to know is that you have to wait a long enough time before mowing the grass in this spot so that the leaves of the bulbs have wilted and their juices (powers) have run back into the bulb for the next year.
For the types of daffodils for such a strip, I would suggest choosing either white or yellow/orange varieties, depending on your preference. You can also mix a few varieties (of similar color) to give you a longer flowering period. When one has finished blooming, the others will bloom. My own preference is for whiter varieties, but that is really personal. In the photo below you see a mixture of Narcissus Thalia (a real gem!) and Narcissus 'Papillon Blanc' and Narcissus 'Tresamble'. I would go for at least 20 pieces per m2. Then it really is a sea of flowers from the first year. And with a bit of luck they will multiply afterwards and it will become even more beautiful.
Tip: Don't plant them in a row, but let the bulbs 'fall' randomly where you want to plant them. This way you get the best effect.
And what can also be done in the short(er) grass or lawn is this, my favorite: the farmer's crocus! Even when the grass is covered with a layer of snow, they appear and I always feel the wonder of nature, so close to my home!

The flower bulb campaign was a success and because I always link it to a 'higher goal', with your purchase of organic flower bulbs you also support a concrete project, namely flower bulbs for the garden of wzc De Wingerd in Leuven.
