Autumn Flowering Crocus Mixed Varieties
C2061
Description
A beautiful tonal mix of blue and white Crocus, perfect for planting to naturalise in open grassy spaces and garden borders.
This selection includes named varieties, consisting of species and hybrids in crisp white and violet-blue shades which will flower throughout September and October.
The charming, chalice-shaped flowers bloom atop of smooth stems and feature a cluster of golden stamens in the centre of each flower – extremely attractive to pollinators.
Plant in full sun or dappled shade in well-drained, fertile soil for a spectacular show which will improve year on year.
Care Guide
The autumn-flowering species should be planted in August and September- the earlier the planting the better the result. Corms should be planted about 8cm (3”) deep in any good fertile garden soil.
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, 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.
