Blue Moon Crocus Mix
A mixture of bulbs with flowers that appear either purplish-blue, white, or purple and white striped. They multiply every season and will last for years to come. Crocuses work exceptionally well in the landscape when planted in grass or under shrubs and trees.
PLANTING GUIDE
Crocus vernus
Perennial, Zones 3-9
Bulb Planting Depth: 3”
Height: 4-6”
Spacing: 12 bulbs per square foot, 3-4" apart
Light Needs: Full sun to light shade
Soil Needs: Average to fertile, moist well-drained
Bloom Time: Early spring
Uses: Flower beds, rock gardens, containers, cut flowers, wild gardens and naturalizing, under trees and shrubs, on the edges of woods or garden spaces, deer-resistant
Care: Amend soil with compost before planting bulbs. Feed with a granular flower bulb fertilizer at planting time or in the spring when the leaves emerge. Cut back spent flowers and allow foliage to die back naturally before removing (4-6 weeks after flowering). They will produce small bulbs, “offsets” that can be divided from the main bulb and transplanted after a few growing seasons.
