Crocus mixed colour collection
large flowering crocus bulbs
Shades of purple, lilac-blue, striped, orange and white make up this lush mix of goblet-shaped flowers that appear in March and April above slender, strap-shaped leaves.
These vigorous, large-flowered Dutch crocuses are perfect for naturalising in the lawn or allowing to meander through the front of a sunny, well-drained site. To achieve a naturalistic effect broadcast small handfuls of bulbs, planting them where they fall.

How to care for Crocus Mixed Colours:
Plant bulbs in naturalistic drifts 10cm (4in) deep in September or October, in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. Space bulbs to allow room for natural spreading over the years. Water in well after planting if the soil is dry.
Where bulbs are planted in grass, avoid cutting the lawn until the leaves have fully died back, as this allows the bulbs to store energy for next year’s growth. Mulching lightly with compost or leaf mould can help protect against harsh winter conditions and improve soil fertility.
For best display, plant in groups rather than single bulbs to create a more natural, colourful effect.
