Plant these 560 crocus mix bulbs from September through November, and you will enjoy flowers in mixed colors from February through April.

They fit beautifully in lawns, at the edges of borders, under shrubs, and in small pots. The bulbs are size 7/8: the circumference of the bulb in centimeters. The larger the bulb, the more vigorous the bloom.
