Early Spring Flowering - UK Hardy Pollinator Friendly - Grow in Beds, Borders & Patio Pots
- With this fantastic mixed crocus collection, you will receive 30, 75 or 150 UK hardy white, yellow and purple mixed crocus perennial bulbs from the following varieties - Ruby Giant, Romance and Jeanne D’ Arc loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies. Please note that quantities and varieties may vary depending on availability. These snow crocuses will help chase the winter blues away, flowering between February and March growing to a height of 10 and 20 cm tall. Crocus are popular for UK gardens, due to their ability to increase rapidly providing a bigger and better display each year. These small and large headed crocus varieties will provide colour throughout the Spring season and look great when planted together.
- These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds, garden borders or in patio pots. They are also ideal for growing in woodland gardens or rock gardens in particular around the base of deciduous trees or shrubs. They do particularly well when planted with other Spring flowering bulbs such as daffodils, grape hyacinth and crocus. Crocus can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden.
- If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.

Best Growing Conditions
Plant these crocus bulbs during Autumn to Winter in fertile, well draining soil in full sun to full shade approximately 10 cm apart and at a depth, three to four times the size of the bulb. After planting, water well. Adding mulch, wood chips and organic matter to the planting area will increase soil drainage. After flowering, allow the foliage to die down completely. They are UK hardy and will continue to grow each year with little maintenance.
