Crocus vernus ‘White’ bulbs flower in early Spring to show off their brilliant white flowers growing on short stems, with silvery-green foliage.
These bulbs can be planted in pots or containers on a sunny patio or at the front of a colourful border. Alternatively, try scattering the bulbs across an area of lawn and plant them where they fall. Be sure to wait for the foliage to die back completely before mowing the lawn. If left undisturbed, these flowers will spread and naturalise over the coming years.
Plant these bulbs roughly 10cm deep in the soil with at least 5cm between bulbs, to allow room for the flowers to bloom. The bulbs can be subject to damage by mice and squirrels – in order to avoid this, we recommend lay a sheet of chicken wire over the bulbs before covering with soil.
