Alliums won't be suitable for growing in grass @newbie77 but you can plant them in pots and borders just now. You can certainly put crocus in, but you'll need to leave cutting the grass until the foliage has died back. Easiest way is to lift a section of turf, scatter and plant them, and replace the turf, but you can also do them individually if it's not a lot. I would water that section after planting though.

Most bog standard crocus will naturalise. If you check out some of the specialist bulb suppliers, they'll have info regarding any that aren't so suitable. There's unlikely to be any foliage growth before the end of the year.

If you don't want to water and there's no rain forecast try soaking the crocus bulbs in cool water for an hour or two first.
They should start y getting their roots down and then foliage and flowers will appear early next spring. You need to leave grass uncut so the crocus foliage can build up the energy reserves in the bulbs for the following year - at least 6 weeks after flowering finishes if you want them to naturalise and spread and don't apply any lawn weed and feed till it's completely gone.

will crocus foliage come this year? also any suggestion, shall i go for smaller crocus bulbs or larger ones for naturalization?
