Know before you buy
Crocus bulbs should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom as soon as spring arrives.
Yes, these are perennial bulbs. If planted in the correct hardiness zones (3-8) and given proper care, they will naturalize and return to bloom each spring.
Absolutely. Their compact 6-inch height makes them an excellent choice for container gardening. Just ensure your pot has adequate drainage to keep the bulbs healthy.
Yes, crocus bulbs are generally avoided by deer. While no plant is 100% deer-proof, these are a reliable choice if you have issues with local wildlife grazing in your garden.
For the best results, plant the corms 3 inches deep. Ensure the pointed end is facing upward to help the sprout emerge easily through the soil.
While these bulbs are drought-tolerant once established, it is helpful to provide occasional water during particularly dry spring periods to support the blooms. Once the foliage dies back in late spring, they require very little maintenance.
