Autumn Crocus - Zonatus - Frost Hardy Resilience - Bulbs - Giga Pack - 500 pcs

The Zonatus autumn crocus stands out for its subtle pink flowers, which bring gentle colour to beds and lawns just as most garden perennials begin to fade. Supplied as a giga pack of 500 flower bulbs, it provides flexibility for large-scale planting or smaller displays, making it easy to create bold, uniform sweeps of colour or scatter groups for a more natural look. With a compact height of just 10-12 cm, Zonatus integrates well with low-growing perennials, works along path edges, and is ideal for softening the area around water features. Its tidy growth and late-season blooms help maintain structure and interest in the garden as autumn approaches.

Planting Time

For best results, plant Zonatus crocus bulbs from August to September. This timing allows the bulbs to establish strong roots before colder weather sets in, ensuring reliable flowering in the same autumn.

Planting Depth

Plant the bulbs at a depth of 6-8 cm. This depth supports healthy development and offers protection from frost, contributing to the plant’s renowned hardiness.

Spacing

Allow 8-12 cm between each bulb. This spacing encourages robust growth and helps achieve a natural effect, while also making maintenance straightforward throughout the season.

Height

Mature Zonatus crocuses reach a height of 10-12 cm. Their compact stature makes them an excellent choice for the front of borders, rock gardens, or as companions to other autumn-flowering garden bulbs.

Flowering Time

Blooming from September to October, Zonatus crocus adds colour and freshness to the garden when most other perennials have finished flowering. The pink blooms are particularly striking in the autumn landscape.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Zonatus autumn crocus is fully frost hardy and does not require lifting for winter. The bulbs can remain in the ground year-round, reliably returning each season with minimal care.

Uses

These bulbs are suited to a range of settings, including beds, rockeries, beneath deciduous trees, and on lawns. They also perform well in containers on balconies or terraces. When planted in groups, the pink flowers form attractive carpets of colour, enhancing the garden’s appeal even on overcast autumn days. Zonatus crocus pairs well with other perennial bulbs for varied seasonal displays.
