Crocus variety mix – 100 flower bulbs (bulb size 5/6)

These 100 crocus bulbs of mixed species provide colour in mixed colours 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 then 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 in circumference; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
