Crocus Mix – 70 Flower Bulbs (Size 7/8)

Plant these 70 Crocus Mix bulbs from September through November, and enjoy flowers in mixed colors 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. Suitable for lawns, border edges, under shrubs, and in small pots. Bulb size 7/8 indicates how many centimeters the bulbs measure in circumference; a larger bulb contains more reserves for blooming.
