Naturalizing is a term that is very used when people talk about crocuses and other bulbs. When it refers to crocuses, naturalizing means to plant your bulbs in a way that looks natural, wild, or informal. Naturalized plants, once established, will grow every year with more flowers and blooms. When naturalizing, it helps to select a spot with well-draining soil and a good four to six hours of full sun. Also, choose an area where you and your family members don't go often, the less foot traffic, the better for your crocuses to thrive and survive. Scatter your crocuses around this area and bury the bulbs where they fall.
