Know before you buy
These 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 crocuses are excellent for container gardening. Ensure your pot has good drainage to prevent the bulbs from sitting in excess water, which can cause them to rot.
Yes, these are perennial bulbs. If planted in the correct USDA hardiness zones (3-8) and given proper care, they will return and bloom again each spring.
While no plant is 100% deer-proof, these crocus bulbs are generally avoided by deer. They are a reliable choice if you have frequent wildlife visitors in your garden.
Plant the corms 3 to 4 inches deep and space them 2 to 3 inches apart. This spacing provides enough room for the plants to thrive while creating a dense, colorful display.
Crocuses are drought-tolerant once established and have low water needs. You should water them lightly after planting, but they generally do not require supplemental irrigation unless you are experiencing an unusually dry season.
