Crocus Mixed Species is a delightful collection of early-flowering crocuses that produces a colourful blend of purple, white, yellow and striped blooms from February to March. Reaching approximately 8cm in height, these charming miniature crocuses are among the first flowers to appear after winter, bringing vibrant colour to borders, rockeries, containers and lawns. Their compact size and natural appearance make them ideal for creating beautiful carpets of spring colour throughout the garden.

Supplied as an XL Value Pack, Crocus Mixed Species is perfect for naturalising, where the corms will gradually multiply to produce increasingly impressive displays year after year. Recognised as an RHS Plants for Pollinators variety, these early blooms also provide an invaluable source of nectar for bees and other beneficial insects emerging in late winter.

Aftercare
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the corms can replenish their energy for the following season. Delay mowing naturalised lawns until the leaves have completely yellowed. Species crocuses multiply readily in well-drained soil, creating larger displays each spring while providing valuable early nectar for bees and other pollinators.
