Yes, these crocus bulbs are well-suited for container gardening. Ensure your container has good drainage to prevent the corms from sitting in excess water.
Yes, these are perennial corms. If planted in the correct hardiness zones (3-8) and provided with proper care, they will return and bloom each spring.
