VAN ZYVERDEN Crocus Bulbs Spring Beauty (Set of 25)

There are many different types of the world famous Crocus genus available. Some are fall, winter, or spring blooming. These are the well-known spring bloomers, that are long-lived and everyone knows and loves. They are easy to grow and cold hardy, and often the first color of spring. The flowers are tubular cup shaded, atop grass like basal foliage. They perennialize nicely, providing a splash of color. Spring Beauty is an uniquely colored, pale lilac flamed, dark purple specie Crocus. Specie Crocus are among the earliest of all Crocus’s to flower, and therefore, sometimes the preferred choice to plant in lawns. Shorter than other specie Crocus and good in garden borders. Flowers open and close on sunny days. Foliage is uncommonly narrow with median silvery stripes. To ensure optimal results allow adequate space, sunlight, plant at the appropriate depth, feed with a well balanced fertilizer, allowing the leaves to yellow/brown before removing. Plant about nine bulbs per square foot for a solid planting. Crocus can be successfully grown in a lawn for a spring meadow effect. Hold off on mowing the lawn in spring until the Crocus foliage begins to die back.
