A vibrant carpet of colour is one of the first pleasures of spring, and this mixed pack of botanical crocus bulbs offers a striking display just as winter fades. Their vivid shades of yellow, purple and white stand out in the early season, brightening borders and lawns when most plants are still dormant. Mass planting creates dense, eye-catching clusters that signal the arrival of a new gardening year, making these flower bulbs a reliable choice for adding cheerful colour to your outdoor spaces.
Plant these crocus bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. This period gives the bulbs time to establish strong roots before the onset of spring growth and ensures early flowering.
Set each bulb at a depth of 5-10 cm in the soil. This depth provides the right balance of insulation and moisture, helping protect the bulbs during colder months and supporting healthy development. Avoid shallow planting, especially in exposed areas, to reduce the risk of frost damage.
Leave 10-15 cm between each bulb. This spacing allows for healthy growth and encourages the formation of dense clumps, which look particularly effective along pathways, in rockeries, or at the edges of beds.
Botanical crocuses reach a height of 8-10 cm. Their compact form is ideal for prominent planting positions or rock gardens, where their flowers can be appreciated up close.
Expect blooms in March and April, often among the first perennial bulbs to flower after winter. Their colourful petals emerge while many other plants are still dormant, making them a valuable addition to spring displays.
These crocus bulbs are fully hardy and tolerate winter conditions well. They can remain in the ground year after year without the need for lifting, simplifying maintenance and ensuring reliable flowering each spring.
The mixed colours are suitable for a variety of settings, from borders and lawns to rockeries and naturalistic plantings. They also fill gaps between established perennials and work well in containers. Their early and colourful presence is especially valued in both informal and formal garden designs, making them a versatile option among garden bulbs.
