A time-lapse after planting 10,000 crocuses in a lawn

A time-lapse in 2023 after we planted over 10,000 crocuses in the backyard in October 2021.

All bulbs were planted 8-12 cm deep, around 15-20 cm apart and it took around 16 hours to plant. We avoid walking on the lawn from when the ground thaws in the spring until they are done flowering and then wait until the end of May to cut the grass. For every one bulb planted in 2021, there were 1-2 flowers in 2022 and 2-5 flowers from each bulb originally planted. These crocuses make a great crocus lawn!

Cultivar:
Crocus tommasinianus ‘Ruby Giant’

Bulbs planted: October 5-9, 2021
Time-lapse: March 19-April 12, 2023
