The Crocus Botanical Mixed Planting Bulb 80 Pack by Thompson and Morgan is an ideal choice for gardeners of all skill levels looking to establish early-season color in lawns, rockeries, and containers. These hardy, jewel-toned bulbs are specifically selected for their ability to naturalize and multiply over time, providing a low-maintenance return on investment each spring. While they offer a spectacular display, they require well-drained soil to thrive and prevent bulb rot during the dormant winter months.

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, ideally between September and November, before the ground freezes.
Yes, they thrive in containers. Use a well-draining potting compost and ensure the pot has drainage holes.
No, these are hardy perennials and are designed to be left in the ground to naturalize and return year after year.
Plant the bulbs at a depth of approximately 3-4 inches.
Once established, they require very little watering. Only water if the soil is extremely dry during the planting phase.
Let the foliage die back naturally until it turns yellow or brown, as the leaves collect sunlight to provide energy to the bulb for next season.
Check soil drainage; waterlogged soil during winter often causes bulb rot.
Ensure the foliage is left to yellow naturally; cutting it too early prevents the bulb from storing enough energy to multiply.
Protect young shoots from squirrels or rodents using mesh covers if local wildlife activity is high.
Plant these bulbs in the autumn when the soil is cool. Choose a location in full sun or light semi-shade. Dig holes approximately 3-4 inches deep, ensuring the pointed end of the bulb is facing upward. Space bulbs about 3 inches apart for a dense display. No heavy fertilization is required, but you may add a small amount of grit to the bottom of the planting hole if your soil is heavy clay to improve drainage. Once flowering finishes, allow the foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulb for the following year; do not trim the leaves until they have yellowed and withered.
