Plant these 400 crocus species mix bulbs from September through November, and you will enjoy flowers in mixed colours from February through April. Crocuses open their flowers on the first sunny days of the year and are an important food source for the first bees. Use them in lawns, along the edges of borders, under shrubs and in small pots. The bulbs are size 5/6: the circumference of the bulb in centimetres. The larger the bulb, the more vigorous the bloom.
