Product Description

The Crocus Species Flower Mix is a delightful blend of early-blooming crocuses that bring a burst of color to the garden just as winter fades. These charming, low-growing flowers are among the first to bloom in spring, often emerging through the last snow to signal the arrival of warmer days. Their vibrant hues of purple, yellow, white, and bi-colored varieties create a dazzling display in flower beds, borders, rock gardens, and containers.

Ideal for naturalizing, crocuses spread over time, forming cheerful drifts of color that return year after year. These hardy perennials thrive in a variety of climates and require minimal care, making them perfect for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Additionally, they attract early-season pollinators, providing much-needed nectar for bees emerging from winter dormancy.

Planting & Care Instructions

Seed Preparation & Germination

• Soil: Use well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil for best results
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and lightly cover with soil
• Watering: Keep soil slightly moist but not soggy during germination
• Temperature: Requires a cold period (stratification) for successful germination; can be sown outdoors in fall or stratified in a refrigerator for 10-12 weeks before spring planting
• Germination Time: Can take several months, as crocuses typically require cold stratification to sprout

Growing & Maintenance

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade
• Watering: Water lightly during active growth; allow soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy blooms
• Deadheading: Not necessary; allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish the corms for next year
• Overwintering: Hardy in cold climates; no special protection needed
