Overview

Crocus Species Mixed: The Early Spring Tapestry

Create a vibrant, multi-coloured carpet in your garden with our Crocus Species Mixed collection. This carefully curated blend brings together the best botanical varieties (including Crocus chrysanthus and Crocus tommasinianus types) to offer a dazzling palette of gold, snow-white, amethyst, and bicolor blooms. Unlike the larger Dutch crocuses, these "Snow Crocuses" are prized for their dainty, elegant shape and their ability to bloom incredibly early, often appearing in February to herald the end of winter. They are vigorous naturalisers, meaning they will multiply freely to form dense, joyful drifts in lawns, rockeries, or under trees, returning with more abundance every single year.

Key Features

  • Instant Collection: Why choose just one colour? This mix provides a complete spring palette in a single bag, ensuring a dynamic and interesting display with no extra effort.

  • Extended Display: Because this mix contains different varieties, they often bloom at slightly different times, extending the season of colour longer than a single-variety planting would.

  • Floriferous Nature: Botanical species are famous for producing more flowers per bulb than the giant varieties, creating a "fuller" look despite their smaller size.

  • Pollinator Buffet: This diverse mix offers a reliable and varied source of nectar and pollen for early-emerging bees, supporting local biodiversity from the very start of the season.

Gardener's Tip

For the most natural and professional-looking display, avoid planting these in straight lines or rigid geometric shapes. Instead, take a handful of bulbs and gently toss them onto your lawn or flower bed. Plant them exactly where they land. This "scatter method" creates a relaxed, organic look that mimics how wildflowers grow in nature, turning your lawn into a confetti-speckled meadow come spring.
