Large-Flowered Mixed Crocus Crocus vernus

A colourful mix of lilac, purple, orange and white large-flowered Dutch crocuses to bring profuse spring colour to a wide range of settings.  A fully hardy, vigorous grower, crocuses are ideal for naturalising in lawns and for planting in flower beds, edges and borders; they also do well in pots and containers.

Large-flowering crocuses grow best in full sun in well-drained soil. To achieve a naturalistic effect, scatter handfuls of bulbs and plant them where they fall. They will multiply easily.  Where the bulbs are planted in lawns, leave grass uncut until after the leaves have died back.

Spring wildflower bulbs 'in the green' are supplied when they are actively growing. This can be a more reliable way to transplant species such as bluebells, aconites and snowdrops, and for all wildflower bulb species the plants can be more quickly and easily established than from dormant bulbs planted in autumn. Wildflower bulbs in the green can be easier to plant as it is clear where the bulbs have been positioned.  In most cases, the plants will flower the following spring.

Our wildflower and meadow bulbs are grown in the UK from British plants.
