Voici la traduction anglaise complète en utilisant bulbs partout :

Spring Crocus Mix (Crocus vernus Mix) brings together charming crocuses with violet, white, and yellow flowers that brighten the garden from late winter onward. From March through April, their vivid blooms open widely in sunshine, then close at night or during cloudy weather. Their fine, dark green foliage, marked with a distinctive silvery stripe, forms compact clumps reaching 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) tall. Hardy to Zone 4, this bulbous perennial returns reliably each year in Quebec and gradually multiplies to create a natural, colourful carpet of spring flowers.

Plant the bulbs from September through November, before the ground freezes, approximately 8 cm (3 in) deep and 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in) apart. Choose a location in full sun or light partial shade with light, fertile soil that remains fresh in spring and drains exceptionally well. Water lightly after planting, then only during unusually dry periods. After flowering, allow the foliage to yellow completely so the bulbs can replenish their energy reserves. A light application of compost in autumn or early spring is generally sufficient. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils.

Spring Crocus Mix is ideal for rock gardens, borders, naturalized lawns, beneath deciduous trees, and spring containers. Planted in generous groups, it gradually forms beautiful multicoloured colonies that announce the arrival of spring. Pair it with snowdrops, grape hyacinths, scillas, and botanical daffodils to create colourful, natural-looking displays. Its early flowers also provide valuable nectar and pollen for the first bees and other spring pollinating insects. The flowers are grown strictly for ornamental purposes and are not intended for consumption.

Planting
and care
ExposureFull sun to light partial shade. Bright conditions encourage abundant flowering, while light shade beneath deciduous trees is well tolerated.
Planting periodSeptember to November
Planting depth8 cm (3 in)
Rooting temperature15 to 18°C (59 to 64°F)
Hardiness zoneZone 4
WateringWater lightly after planting, then only during unusually dry spring periods. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent bulb rot.
Soil typeLight, fertile, perfectly drained soil that remains fresh in spring and becomes drier during summer. Avoid heavy, constantly wet soils.
Soil pHNeutral to slightly alkaline
FertilizationA light application of compost in autumn or early spring is usually sufficient. Excessive fertilization is unnecessary and may reduce naturalization.
Container
growing
Perfect for container growing in pots at least 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in) in diameter with excellent drainage. Use a light potting mix enriched with compost and plant the bulbs in groups to create a spectacular spring display. Water lightly after planting, then very sparingly during summer dormancy. Containers may overwinter outdoors if well drained or be placed in a cool location protected from excessive moisture.
Seasonal
care
Allow the foliage to yellow naturally before removing it so the bulbs can replenish their reserves. Avoid excessive moisture during summer dormancy. Add a light layer of compost in autumn if the soil is poor. Divide established colonies after several years if they become overcrowded.
