Default Crocuses on lawn

I've been planting bulbs in my lawn in Ohio for years. None of
them spread quickly if at all. I leave off mowing as long as I can
stand it or untill the leaves start to wither. The earliest blooming
varieties work best as they will wither first. Plant lots of them
close together or they're hard to see.
I use and adzlike tool in the fall to plant them. A single
chopping stroke and pull the turf up a bit and put the bulb under it
before tamping it back down.
