Crocus species Mixed
value pack of mixed species crocus bulbs
If you love the species crocus (those ones that have daintier flowerheads and are excellent for naturalising), but can't decide which ones you like best, then this collection could be right up your street. It is a mixed bag of 100 bulbs, which will not only put on a pretty spectacular display when they are all in flower, but will also be easier on your pocket.
How to care for Crocus species - mixed colours:
Plant bulbs in naturalistic drifts 10cm (4in) deep in September or October, in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. Space bulbs to allow room for natural spreading over the years. Water in well after planting if the soil is dry.
Where bulbs are planted in grass, avoid cutting the lawn until the leaves have fully died back, as this allows the bulbs to store energy for next year’s growth. Mulching lightly with compost or leaf mould can help protect against harsh winter conditions and improve soil fertility.
For best display, plant in groups rather than single bulbs to create a more natural, colourful effect.
