The Thompson and Morgan Crocus Dutch Striped bulbs are an ideal choice for gardeners looking to introduce early spring color to their outdoor spaces with minimal ongoing maintenance. These hardy perennials are perfect for beginners and experienced gardeners alike, offering a reliable, recurring display in lawns, borders, or containers. While they are exceptionally easy to grow, it is important to ensure they are planted in well-drained soil, as they are susceptible to rotting if left in waterlogged conditions.

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, typically between September and November, to ensure they establish roots before the spring bloom.
Yes, they are excellent for patio containers, provided the pot has good drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
No, as hardy perennials, they can be left in the ground or container year-round to naturalize.
Leave the foliage to die back naturally. Do not cut it back until it has turned yellow, as it feeds the bulb for the next season.
Bulbs should be planted at a depth of about 10cm, with the pointed side facing upwards.
Check if the soil was too waterlogged during winter, which can lead to rot, or if squirrels have unearthed the bulbs.
Ensure they are receiving adequate sunlight; shade-heavy areas can result in leggy, weak growth.
