Spring Crocus Mix

Crocus 'Value Mixed' is a cheerful perennial bulb from the Iridaceae family, prized for its early spring display of vibrant, goblet-shaped blooms. Each bulb produces slender green leaves and striking flowers in shades of purple, yellow, white, and lilac—perfect for adding instant colour after winter's gloom.

Why Choose Mixed Crocus Bulbs?

• Early Spring Colour: Crocus bulbs are among the first to flower each year, often appearing from February to March.
• Low Maintenance: Once planted, these hardy bulbs return year after year with minimal care.
• Naturalising Effect: Ideal for lawns, under trees, or in wildflower meadows—plant in groups for a natural look.
• Pest Resistant: Crocuses are generally left alone by deer and rabbits.

Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted from September to November before the ground freezes.
• Soil Preference: Prefers well-drained soil; tolerates most garden soils but avoid heavy clay.
• Sun Requirements: Thrives in full sun or partial shade—ideal beneath deciduous trees that allow winter light.
• Mature Size: Each plant reaches about 10cm (4") in height and spreads to 5cm (2").
• Caring Tips: Water after planting and during dry spells. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed the bulb for next year.

Design & Usage Ideas

• Drape colour through rockeries or patio containers for instant impact.
• Create a natural look by planting in drifts beneath shrubs or trees alongside snowdrops and daffodils.
• Add to mixed spring borders with hyacinths and tulips for extended seasonal interest.
