Crocus Planting and Growing Tips

Crocus bulbs should be planted in fall in well-drained, sandy soil in full sun to partial shade. Plant the bulbs 2-4 inches deep and 2-3 inches apart. For the best effect, plant crocus in drifts of 20 or more bulbs. Growing only 4-6 inches tall, they are hardy in zones 3-9 and naturalize well.

When Do Crocus Flowers Bloom?

Typically crocus plants bloom in late winter to early spring. However, the Saffron Crocus blooms in the fall. For this particular crocus variety, plant before mid-October in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Plant the crocus bulbs 3-4 inches deep in groups of 10 or more bulbs.
