Species crocus are among the first spring flowers to wake, often feeding early bees before most borders have stirred.

Crocus 'Mixed Colours' is a cheerful species crocus blend for early spring colour, bringing purple, white, yellow and soft mixed tones to lawns, pots, borders and gravel gardens.

Plant the corms in autumn and they will settle quickly into free-draining soil. Their short, bright flowers are valuable for early pollinators and look especially good planted in generous groups where they can naturalise over time.

Where to Plant:

Crocus 'Mixed Colours' is best in full sun or light partial shade, in free-draining soil. Use it in lawns, under deciduous shrubs, at the front of borders, in rockeries or in pots where the early flowers can be seen easily.

How to Plant:

Plant corms from September to December, around 5-8cm deep and 5-8cm apart. Plant in generous groups for the strongest effect, then water after planting to settle the soil.

Aftercare:

Let the leaves die back naturally after flowering so the corms can build strength for the following year. Avoid mowing naturalised lawn plantings until the foliage has yellowed.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
