Dutch Crocus Mixed

A mixed selection of all Dutch Crocus colours. Plant en masse for a beautiful spring display.
Dutch Crocus are invaluable early flowers, they are some of the first spring blooms to open (or the last of winter depending on where you live). Once established, these delicate beauties can produce up to four flowers from a bulb.
The blooms are the largest of the Crocus, and Dutch Crocus are also one of the easiest Crocus to grow.
Dutch Crocus grow best in cool to temperate climates where they look best in rockeries, beds and pots. Choose a sunny spot with well drained soil. They will tolerate light shade, such as under deciduous trees, especially in more Temperate zones. The bulbs of Dutch Crocus don't need to be lifted every year, if they are protected from the hot summer sun and have good drainage, so you can allow them to naturalise and only dig and divide after four or five years.
We advise you protect new growth of Dutch Crocus from slugs and snails and to fertilise annually in winter and spring.
Planting Dutch Crocus in a lawn beneath a deciduous tree will really create that wow factor. Thankfully the lawn does not grow very fast at that time of year, because the foliage takes around five weeks to fade and you shouldn't mow, so you will need to resist the urge to tidy! We mow a border around our patch which makes the whole thing appear a feature as they fade.
