Planting and caring for crocus bulbs
Plant crocus bulbs in well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. For the earliest possible flowering, choose a sunny, sheltered spot. Crocuses are ideal for borders and pots, beneath trees and shrubs, and for naturalising in lawns.
Planting crocuses in grass? Wait until the foliage has completely yellowed and died back before mowing the area. This allows the bulbs to store enough energy for flowering the following spring.
Read our complete guide to when and how to plant and care for crocus bulbs.
