Crocus - Ard Schenk - Vibrant Early Season Colour - Bulbs - 10 pcs

Ard Schenk crocus bulbs are valued for their pure white blooms and gentle fragrance, which stand out in the garden at the very start of the season. Reaching just 10 cm in height, these compact plants provide crisp contrast against dormant grass and borders, bringing a sense of freshness as one of the first perennial bulbs to flower after winter. Their early appearance and subtle scent often attract bees and butterflies, supporting pollinators when few other plants are in bloom.

Planting Time

Plant Crocus Ard Schenk bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter and ensures reliable flowering from late winter into early spring.

Planting Depth

Set the bulbs at a depth of 6-8 cm in well-drained, slightly moist soil. This depth offers protection from cold and encourages strong, healthy growth.

Spacing

For best results, space the bulbs 5-10 cm apart. This arrangement gives each plant room to develop while allowing for attractive, dense clusters of white flowers when in bloom.

Height

Mature Ard Schenk crocuses reach approximately 10 cm tall, making them suitable for edging borders, integrating with low-growing perennials, or naturalising in lawns.

Flowering Time

These crocuses are among the earliest garden bulbs to flower, usually opening from February to March. Their clear white petals mark a distinct and uplifting start to the gardening year.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Crocus Ard Schenk bulbs are hardy and overwinter well in the ground. There is no need to lift or provide extra protection during colder months, making them a reliable choice for low-maintenance planting bulbs.

Uses

The pure white flowers of Ard Schenk crocus are ideal for planting in lawns, rockeries, along paths, and in mixed borders. They are also well suited to containers on balconies and terraces. Planting in larger groups creates a natural carpet of early colour and fragrance that appeals to both gardeners and pollinators.
