Dutch Crocus (Crocus x 'Pickwick') - Description

These jumbo sized bulbs produce three or more flowers from each bulb, even in the first year. For best effect, plant crocus in groups or drifts of 25 or more. To maximize bloom time and enjoy their jewel like flowers even longer, plant some in full sun, some in partial shade, others in full shade. Those in full sun will flower first. When happy with their location and fertilized periodically, crocus bulbs will multiply quickly and continue to provide color in your early spring garden year after year.
