XL-Pack Crocus chrysanthus mix
Botanical spring crocuses (Crocus chrysanthus, crocus tommasinianus, crocus species) are the ‘wild’ crocus varieties. You can easily leave them grow in the ground to naturalise and multiply. Queen Flowerbulbs offers a beautiful mixture of the small-flowered (10 cm tall) spring crocuses. These botanical spring crocuses come in the most stunning colours: lavender-blue, cream, blue, white, with brown marks, with purple marks and overall in more pastel colours than the crocus vernus varieties. Botanical spring crocuses bloom in early spring (February-March) and they appear slightly earlier than the large-flowered crocuses. Quite often it is still cold outside when these flower buds pop up. That makes them the true announcers of the spring!

Other information
- First loosen the soil well where the flower bulbs will be planted. Then the soil is easier to work with.
- Dig a hole and make sure it is 2 to 3 times as deep as the height of the crocus bulbs.
- For the distance between the bulbs, make sure it is 2 times the diameter of the bulbs.
- Plant the flower bulbs in the hole with the pointed side facing up or with the root base facing down.
- Cover the crocus bulbs with soil and water them well.
