This early blooming crocus has been planted in the lawn
immediately off the garden classroom (around 5,000 bulbs),
and in parts of the ‘Great Lawn’. This species is supposed
to be squirrel resistant, and generally is. However, that
does not stop the buggers from biting off the flower heads!
After the plants have finished blooming, we wait six weeks
before mowing, as the plants need time to pull energy down,
for the following year. If you are anal retentive, we would
not recommend ‘naturalizing’ this bulb in your lawn…
Selected forms range from white thru various shades of purple.
