Large-flowered crocus mix – 60 flower bulbs (bulb size 7/8)

Large-flowered crocus mix blooms in mixed colours from February through April. With 60 bulbs in this pack, you can fill a group of approximately 50 × 50 cm. Crocuses open their flowers on the first sunny days of the year and are then an important food source for the first bees. They fit beautifully in lawns, at the edges of borders, under shrubs and in small pots. Bulb size 7/8 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure in circumference; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
