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 in late winter or early spring.
Crocus bulbs perform beautifully in both garden beds and containers. If planting in pots, ensure the container has adequate drainage and is placed in a spot that receives full sun.
Yes, crocuses are generally unappealing to deer and other common garden pests. While no plant is 100% deer-proof, these are a reliable choice for gardens where wildlife pressure is a concern.
This range indicates the geographic regions where these bulbs can survive the winter and return as perennials. If you live in zones 3 through 8, you can expect these bulbs to bloom year after year.
For the best results, plant the bulbs 2 inches deep and space them 2 to 3 inches apart. This density is ideal for creating the lush, mass-planting effect this mix is designed for.
No, these are perennial bulbs that can be left in the ground year-round. Simply allow the foliage to fade and turn yellow naturally after blooming, as this provides the energy the bulb needs to return the following spring.
