Bulbs in lawns

After about six weeks after flowers have faded the foliage of bulbs grown in grass can be cut back. Use a pair of shears for small areas or a nylon-line trimmer or a rotary mower with the blades set at their highest position (see manufacturer’s instructions). Reduce the height of the cut over the next few weeks until the area of naturalised bulbs can be trimmed at the same time as the rest of your lawn.
