As the herald of spring, the crocus provides the first clue of a thaw once it peeks through snow-covered gardens. The Crocus Large-Flowered Economy Mix of forms and colors in this economy pack of 10 offers the highest quality assortment of giant Dutch crocus.
Before the snow has a chance to melt away, these cup-shaped blooms will nestle slightly above ground level. The Crocus Large-Flowered Economy Mix stay for several weeks, and their violet, purple, blue, yellow and white smattering of colors makes for a pleasant show among its bright green, grassy foliage.
Dutch crocus will naturalize where they thrive; therefore, the bulbs will turn into bigger colonies as time passes. For these flowers to grow at their peak, the bulbs only need moderately fertile, well-drained soil located in light shade or full sunshine.
The majority of the varieties in this Crocus Large-Flowered Economy Mix spread up to 4 inches in width and reach up to 5 inches in height during full bloom. They are ideal for ringing mailboxes and trees as well as lining garden paths and foundations.
