Description

A soft, subtle touch to the garden, these 'Grand Maitre' Giant Crocus bloom slightly later than other species, with a light hue of violet that almost looks blue like the early spring sky! The cupped petals open just enough to reveal the splendid yellow of the stamen creating a striking accent.

Planting Advice

Crocus like a sunny location, but will tolerate partial shade.
Crocus require well-drained soil with organic matter. Amend soil with organic matter such as compost, manure or peat humus.
Space your crocus 2-4” apart, or plant together in one large hole leaving a small amount of space between bulbs so they are not touching.
Crocus don’t always have a noticeably pointed end. Plant your crocus 2-3” deep, with the flattest side touching the earth. If you are unsure which side is up, plant the crocus corms on their side, they will straighten out to find the sun.
Fertilize at planting with Hi Yield Bulb Food or for organic gardening use Bulb-Tone. Apply fertilizer at least 2” below the bottom of the bulbs so that the roots will get the most benefit from the fertilizer.
Water the area the crocus have been planted immediately after. Additional water in fall and winter is not necessary; bulbs prefer to be kept dry when dormant.
Apply a 2” layer of mulch in late fall.

My Crocus were a wonderful sight for early spring! Did have to protect from squirrels but I expected that. Cant wait for next spring to see how they multiply. I love Holland Bulb Farm!
