Crocus ( White ) - 5 Bulbs - buy 1 get 1 free

Crocuses are among one of the most popular of the early spring bloomers.

Crocus refers to a genus of several dozen species of small clump-forming perennials that have their origins in many different Zone 3 regions from southern Europe to China. They are most noted for being some of the very earliest spring flowers. Crocus have since been cultivated into a wide variety of hybrids, most developed in Holland.

Bulbs are ideal for anyone who rates themselves as keen-but-clueless because they are one of the easiest plants to grow. Provided you plant them at the right time of year at more or less the right depth, they will reward you year after year with a reliable display of blooms.

Mass plantings of colourful crocuses herald the start of spring, sometimes poking their flowers right up through the snow. Because the plants flower so early, crocuses adapt well to planting in lawns and will multiply over time to cover large areas.
Flower colours include blue, violet, striped, yellow, and white, and height ranges from 3 to 6 inches.

Planting & Care
Snow Crocus grow best in Cool to Mediterranean climates where they look best in rockeries, beds and pots. Plant in a sunny spot into well drained soil. Snow Crocus will tolerate light shade, such as under deciduous trees, especially in more temperate zones.

Snow Crocus bulbs don t need to be lifted every year, so you can allow them to naturalise and only dig and divide after four or five years. It is a good idea to protect new growth from slugs and snails. Fertilise your Snow Crocus annually in spring. They are suitable for planting in pots, rockeries and towards the front of garden beds.

Sunlight: Full sun to light shade

Soil: Average medium moistured, well drained soil.

Water: Give water after planting. If the weather is particularly dry, give water when the shoots start to appear.

Fertilizer: Apply fertilizer after bulbs flower if your spring is long and temperate; bulbs will have a chance to use the extra nutrients to produce bigger carbohydrate stores.

Care:

• Apply a balanced fertilizer in early autumn if your spring is short and the days heat up fast; or, apply fertilizer after bulbs flower if your spring is long and temperate; bulbs will have a chance to use the extra nutrients to produce bigger carbohydrate stores.
• Through the autumn, keep crocus beds watered if weather gets dry but do not water log.
• Cover the beds with mulch before the winter.
• In late February, remove mulches from snowdrops and crocuses so the shoots can come through.
• In February and March, keep plastic milk jugs or other coverings on hand to protect the flowers of crocuses and other early bloomers against the return of severe weather.
• If you have crocuses growing in your lawn in mid-Spring, don t mow until their leaves have died down.
