Dutch Crocus (Crocus hybrids) - Description
Crocuses are native to a large area from coastal and subalpine areas of central and southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, across Central Asia to western China. Their cup-shaped, solitary, salverform flowers taper off into a narrow tube.
Dutch Crocus (Crocus hybrids) - Blooming
Each corm produces one to five blooms, which may be yellow, white, purple, lavender, or bicolored, depending on the cultivar. Flowers appear in late winter or early spring for spring-blooming crocuses. The flowers range from cup to goblet shaped.
Dutch Crocus (Crocus hybrids) - Growth
Clump-forming dwarf perennials. Grassy leaves appear just after or with flowers. Most grow best in full sun or partial shade. Works well in rock gardens or borders.
Dutch Crocus (Crocus hybrids) - Planting
For spring blooming crocuses, plant in fall, 3-4" deep. For autumn blooming crocuses plant in late summer or early fall. Crocuses won't naturalize where the winter is warm.
Dutch Crocus (Crocus hybrids) - Pest
Chipmunks will dig up and eat any Crocus they can.
Dutch Crocus (Crocus hybrids) - Soil and irrigation
Poor to average, sandy or gritty soil. Soil should be well-drained, and preferably completely dry when the crocuses are dormant in the summer. Water liberally during the growing season.
