Crocus 'Remembrance'

Dutch crocus bulbs

Product Image
Big, purple-mauve flowers with a beautiful silhouette appear from late winter on slender stems. These arise from the clumps of white-striped, green foliage, which provides a nice contrast and remains interesting after the flowers have faded.

Useful for creating a blast of seasonal colour when little else is in bloom, Crocus 'Rememberance' can be planted in pots, windowboxes or allowed to naturalise in the border or lawn.

How to care for Crocus Remembrance:

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.
