Caring for Crocus Flower Bulbs


Ensure a beautiful bloom with these simple care tips:

1. Planting time: Plant the bulbs in the autumn (September-November), before the ground freezes.

2. Planting depth: Place the bulbs approximately 5-8 cm deep in well-draining soil.

3. Spacing: Keep a gap of 5-10 cm for a natural look.

4. Location: Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot.

5. Water: Water immediately after planting and provide sufficient moisture during dry periods.

6. After flowering: Leave the foliage until it has completely died back to allow the bulbs to recover.


Uses of Crocuses in the Garden


• In lawns: Plant them in groups for a natural and colourful effect in the grass.

• In borders: Combine with other spring bloomers such as snowdrops and daffodils.

• In rock gardens: Their compact size makes them ideal for rock gardens.
