Spring Flowering Crocus Blue & White Mix
C2150
Description
A beautifully blended collection of white and blue early spring Crocus varieties, ideal for adding a wash of colour with their pollinator-friendly, enchanting floral goblets.
The solid amethyst and purple-splashed white blooms open up in warm sunshine during the early days of spring, unveiling their golden-orange stamens as a welcome beacon to bees.
Crocuses are perfect for naturalising in grassy areas and multiply happily in the right spot – fertile, well-drained soil in a bright spot are ideal conditions.
These captivating little flowers will bloom during February and March each year, heralding the start of spring and illuminating garden spaces with carpets of colour.
Care Guide
Corms should be planted about 8cm (3”) deep in any good fertile garden soil. The winter and spring-flowering species are well suited to the rock garden or the front of borders, and the later Dutch varieties for groups, edging borders or naturalising.
For the best results, plant 8-10cm (3-4”) deep, 5cm (2”) apart, and leave undisturbed. Croci are suitable for a pot or bowl culture, with the exception of large-flowered Yellow Crocus, and may also be grown in pebbles and water. It is important to remember that they must not be forced too hard, as too much heat or dryness in the atmosphere will lead to excess of leaf and no flower.
