Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the winter so they are ready to bloom as soon as spring arrives.
Yes, these are perennial bulbs. They are hardy in zones 3–9 and will return each spring, typically multiplying over time to create a fuller display.
Yes, these crocus varieties are generally unappealing to deer, squirrels, and rabbits. They are a great choice if you have had issues with local wildlife eating your spring bulbs.
For the best results, plant them in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. They thrive in full sun and will open their blooms wide when exposed to it.
Absolutely. Because they bloom so early—often before trees leaf out—they are perfect for planting under deciduous trees or naturalizing in a lawn area that isn't mowed until the foliage has died back.
They require well-drained soil to prevent the bulbs from rotting. Sandy or loamy soils are ideal, but as long as the area does not stay soggy, they should grow well.
