ie you must not mow them until the leaves have died right back.


Well (re)plant them so they are in random clumps a mower or strimmers
width apart. Then you can get the mower/strimmer between them too keep
the grass down and leave the leaves to feed the bulbs.

This is what we have on the front bit of grass, seems to work quite
well and the odd small "accident" with the strimmer doesn't seem to
unduly worry them.
