The Yalta crocus is an early spring plant. For many gardeners, emerging crocuses are a clear sign of the coming spring. Despite their size, subtle, bicolour flowers of Yalta crocus, immediately attract attention, especially when planted in a larger group. Crocus growth form makes the species a perfect filler for borders, rock and alpine gardens. A living floral carpet at the entrance to you house is always a brilliant idea and a great advertising for your property. Pots and bowls filled with blooming crocuses can decorate house interiors and exterior.

We highly recommend planting small crocus corms conveniently plastic baskets that not only maintain the desired arrangement of small plants but protect them from pests. The optimal position for growing crocuses should be sunny and warm up quickly. Presented species has no special requirements and thrives in a wide variety of soil types. If you are keen on growing substantial numbers of large flowers, you must make sure that the soil is rich in humus and permeable.
