I'd like to naturalise crocuses in a lawn. Could anybody advise me how
many bulbs per square meter do I need?

My experience has always been "more than I can afford this year".

That's what I thought after I measured the lawn and multiplied it by the
price of 100 bulbs. Then I found a Dutch grower who sells bulbs
wholesale around 5 times cheaper and delivers to Belgium (where I am). I
guess you might find bulbs wholesale in UK as well.

We get ours from van Tubergen and have always been very satisfied with their
product and service.

Any tips on how to plant 4000 crocus bulbs without breaking my back?

Alla.

Child labour laws prevent the obvious suggestion. But you could try
bribery! ;-)
