Large Flowering Crocus Remembrance
C2245
Description
Crocus ‘Remembrance’ produces an abundance of amethyst-violet flowers, which bloom during February and March, for a long-lasting and colourful display in the home.
A silvery gloss makes the exquisite flowers gleam as they open wide in the spring sunshine, exposing bright orange stamens.
Plant the bulbs in November or December and keep pots in a cool dark place for 12 weeks before bringing out of storage and placing in a warm, bright spot where they will quickly bloom.
For a naturalistic look to your indoor displays, you can cover the bare soil after planting with moss.
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.
