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.
