Crocus 

Crocuses are one of the hardiest of the Spring flowering bulbs and also one of the earliest to flower.  They come in a great range of colours and flower forms, making them suited to most gardens and tastes.  They provide much needed colour and excitement each Spring and a must have plant for all gardeners.

How to grow

Crocuses are extremely easy to grow making them an ideal plant for novice and amateur gardeners or when gardening with children.  Plant your crocus bulbs in the Autumn at a depth of around 8cm and they will reliably flower the following spring.  Crocuses are especially good when planted in to lawns, containers, or woodland settings.

Position

Plant your crocuses in sun or part shade and they will thrive. To maintain blooms for as long as possible in the cold and wet spring you may wish to plant bulbs in a more sheltered spot which will reduce the effects of biting winds and heavy rainfall.

Soil

Crocuses will grow in most soil but for best results you should enrich soil with plenty of well-rotted garden compost or multi-purpose compost as this will help to improve drainage around the bulbs but still retain an adequate source of moisture.  You may also choose to add horticultural grit or sand to further improve drainage on heavy or clay soils.  If you are planting in to containers you can use a specific bulb planting compost.

Care

Once planted crocuses require almost no care at all.  To help improve plant vigour you can apply a balanced fetiliser throughout the growing season and after blooming, however, it is likely that plants will thrive without this treatment.

Top Tip

You can propagate Crocuses by lifting bulbs that have been growing in the garden for several years.  After your crocuses have flowered, dig up selected clumps and divide up the bulbs to make for a bigger and more healthy display.  Not only will this make for more plants but it will also help ease congestion and improve the health of your plants.
