An unlabelled mixture of these early flowering beauties.
Snow Crocus are also known as Botanical Crocus, their botanical name is Crocus chrysanthus. Chrysanthus was a saint from the third century. Snow Crocus are easy to grow and care for and have a nice, soft fragrance. Snow Crocus bloom earlier than the more common Dutch Crocus, so are a great addition to extend your flowering season.
Snow Crocus grow best in Cool to Mediterranean climates where they look best in rockeries, beds and pots. Plant in a sunny spot into well drained soil. Snow Crocus will tolerate light shade, such as under deciduous trees, especially in more temperate zones.
Snow Crocus bulbs don't need to be lifted every year, so you can allow them to naturalise and only dig and divide after four or five years. It is a good idea to protect new growth from slugs and snails. Fertilise your Snow Crocus annually in spring. They are suitable for planting in pots, rockeries and towards the front of garden beds.
