Crocus variety mix – 50 flower bulbs (bulb size 5/6)

These 50 crocus bulbs of mixed species provide mixed-colour blooms in your garden or on your patio from February through April. Crocuses open their flowers during the first sunny days of the year and are an important food source for the first bees. Suitable for lawns, border edges, under shrubs and in small pots. Bulb size 5/6 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
