Planting and cultivation

Crocus grow well in sun or part shade in well drained soil. Plant bulbs late September to December (Zone 7a) approximately 3-4 inches deep and 3 inches apart. If needed water well after planting.

Crocus should be left undisturbed and fertilized in the fall with a good all purpose fertilizer or special bulb food for flowering in years to come.

Landscape uses: in lawns, borders, rock gardens, under shrubs and trees, and for indoor forcing.
