Large Flowering Mixture of Yellow & White
C2255
Description
A fresh and zesty, balanced mixture of crisp white and rich yellow Large-Flowering Dutch Crocus.
This refreshing collection of superior Crocus bulbs is perfect for planting as a yearly harbinger of spring and indication of warmer times ahead with sunshine tones and gleaming petals.
Blooming during February and March, the large, glossy goblets create striking ribbons of colour when they flower in wide grassy areas.
For a natural-looking effect, scatter the bulbs before planting beneath a mature tree. The dappled shade provided by an early spring canopy will help the sun-loving, ethereal blooms last a little longer.
Crocuses are wonderful for naturalising and are great for attracting pollinators into the garden.
Bulbs will thrive best in a sunny spot, in well-drained, rich soil.
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.
