Spring Flowering Crocus Super Mixture
C2139
Description
Carefully curated by us here at de Jager, this stunning collection of early-blooming Crocus is invaluable for punctuating the garden with colour, early on in the season.
A marvellous medley containing cream, gold, primrose-yellow, white, bronze, soft-blue and mauve varieties – all specially selected for their colouring, markings and brilliant garden performance.
Crocus bulbs are a top choice for early spring, with good reason – the pollinator-friendly blooms look wonderful when planted in generous groupings and ribbons of colour to run through grassy areas and borders. The magical, goblet-like flowers open wide in full sun and close up at nighttime and during rainfall.
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.
