Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant your Crocus Ruby Giant bulbs in autumn while the soil is still workable. Select a site that offers full sun to semi-shade.
- Soil Preparation: Ensure the ground is well-drained. If planting in heavy clay, mix in grit or horticultural sand to improve drainage.
- Depth: Bury the bulbs approximately 5-8cm deep with the pointed end facing upward.
- Spacing: Space bulbs 5-10cm apart to allow for natural spread over time.
- Care: Once the foliage dies back naturally after flowering, refrain from mowing the area immediately if planted in grass; allow the leaves to yellow completely so the bulb can store energy for the next year.
