Default Crocuses on lawn

Hi there. While out walking yesterday my husband and I passed by a lawn
that was full of crocus flowers and we just loved it. I was just wondering.
Are there any downfalls to planting these little bulbs in your lawn? Do
they spread like the dickens and we'd eventually have only crocuses? It
just looked so nice and so colorful for the brown-lawn time of year so I had
to ask. Also, if we decide to plant these little bulbs next fall so that we
can have a lawn like this, how deep do you plant them? I visited a number
of websites but nobody said how deep to put the bulbs. Thanks for your
help!

they will spread and make little patches of kind of short greenery
you plant them a few inches down maybe three but not too deep they
don't mind cold in fact mine came through the snow this year
they are so very lovely they can be controled just dig up the ones you
don't want with a tiny spade or a grapefruit spoon is what I use so I
don't dammage the others when I want to thin them out Try some
llborders around the out side of your flower beds the greenery looks
a bit like grass when the blosems are gone
They come in different sizes too so be sure you have the ones you want
