The article explains naturalizing bulbs in grass for a natural look and mass color from a distance. It cautions avoiding straight lines and urges planting in uncut grass after foliage finishes. Recommended bulbs include Narcissus varieties, crocuses, Scilla, snowdrops, Tulipa sylvestris, and tender lilies among rhododendrons for shrubs and borders.
