Default Naturalising crocuses in a lawn

many bulbs per square meter do I need?

100 to 150. The best way to create a naturalised effect is to throw
handfuls of bulbs onto the area you want to plant and then plant them where
they fall. I've known people go to the extent of turning their back on the
planting site and throwing the bulbs over their shoulder to make sure they
weren't 'influenced' by where they saw them fall!
