The bulbs are perfect for scattering across a lawn and planting where they land, where they will spread and naturalise well. They can also be planted in pots or containers on a sunny patio, in the front of borders or rockeries for colour at a low level, or in a window box to be admired from inside the home. If planting in a lawn, let the foliage completely die back before mowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant these bulbs 5cm deep in the soil and roughly 5cm apart from each other to allow space for the stems to bloom, in a position of full sun. Crocus bulbs can be subject to damage by mice and squirrels, so we recommend placing chicken wire on top of the bulbs before covering with soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulb count per pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 bulbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering months: \u003c\/strong\u003eFebruary, March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8cm\/3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness: \u003c\/strong\u003eFully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to plant: \u003c\/strong\u003eJuly to October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5cm\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulb spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5cm\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil type: \u003c\/strong\u003eMoist but well drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pollinator friendly, ideal for pots, naturalising\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA member of the RHS Plants for Pollinators collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylors Bulbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56082261115205,"sku":"1107544","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/7458\/1061\/files\/ea25d986-crocus-whitewell-purple-15-bulbs.webp?v=1761657514","url":"https:\/\/www.gatesgardencentre.co.uk\/products\/crocus-whitewell-purple-tommasinianus-crocus","provider":"Gates Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
