You will swoon!
This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.
Deep golden petals with a flash of maroon on the reverse. The colouring is eye catching.
Snow Crocus grow best in Cool to Mediterranean climates where they look fantastic in rockeries, beds and pots. Plant in a sunny spot with drained soil.
Snow Crocus will tolerate light shade, such as under deciduous trees, especially in more temperate zones, but need sun in winter.
Snow Crocus bulbs don`t need to be lifted every year, so you can allow them to naturalise and dig and divide after four or five years if flowering wanes. Leaving them in the ground will also mean you will be greeted with blooms a little earlier in the season.
It is a good idea to protect the new growth from slugs and snails - this is easier to check for in pots than among gardens or lawn so if the critters are a problem in your garden take measures in late winter.
Fertilise Snow Crocus annually in spring as they bloom. They are suitable for planting in pots.
