Crocus 'Snow Bunting'

crocus bulbs

Product Image
Yellow-centred white flowers, with a faint purple flush on the outside of the petals, add dazzling colour in late winter. Scatter the bulbs in large handfuls on top of the lawn and plant them where they fall to form naturalised drifts, or fill gaps at the front edge of a sunny border with generous clumps. If space is at a premium, Crocus 'Snowbunting' also looks sweet when crowded into pots or windowboxes.

How to care for Crocus Snow Bunting:

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.
