Crocus Species Mix

Our Crocus Species Mix offers a broad sampling of these delicate and colorful early bloomers, in shades of lavender, purple, yellow, and white. They're a sure sign that spring is on the way. Plant generously in any spot you're likely to pass frequently. 50 bulbs cover 3 sq. ft.

There are 2 types of spring-blooming Crocuses—the species and the hybrids, which are generally listed as selections of C. vernus. The former are notable for their unusual coloration, the latter for their large flowers. Species Crocuses generally bloom earlier than the hybrids, so by using both kinds, you prolong the season. The bulbs (properly, corms) multiply rapidly and can be planted anywhere a dash of early color is wanted.
