About Crocus
Crocus are charming, early-flowering bulbs that bring a welcome splash of colour to UK gardens from late winter to early spring. They are perfect for naturalising in lawns, rockeries, and borders, thriving in the often damp and cool British climate. Their cup-shaped flowers are a classic sign that spring is on its way.
Outdoor garden plant. Bulb. Typically flowers around Feb, Mar, Apr.
How to care for Crocus
💧 Watering
Generally self-sufficient once established in the ground, only requiring watering during prolonged dry spells in autumn after planting, or if grown in pots.
🌿 Feeding
Not typically required. If desired, a balanced granular fertiliser can be applied after flowering to support bulb development for the following year.
