Crocus Speciosus Pack of 9

Crocus species and cultivars are versatile dwarf bulbous plants. Most flower in late winter or early spring; a few bloom in autumn. Colours range from white, cream, and yellow to pinkish-lilac and purple, and many are attractively striped or feathered with other colours.

The goblet-shaped flowers open wide in full sun, in some cases revealing contrasting centres or conspicuous stamens. Most crocuses are also fragrant. Plant in rock or gravel gardens with other early flowering dwarf bulbs or perennials, in drifts in grass or beneath deciduous trees and shrubs, where they will rapdily spread.

If naturalised in grass, delay mowing until the leaves have died down. Feed with an all-purpose granular fertiliser once the flowers have faded.
