Planting and Caring for Spring Crocus

In most of the regions, after the arrival of spring, there would be a beautiful appearance of crocus flowers. You sill observe them peeking up through the snow well before any other flower bloom. They are found as the low growing clump-forming plants usually grown from the corms. They will be found in different colors like white, mauve, lavender, yellow and striped. You will find them in a variety of conditions from the woodland to the coastal garden to the sunburned lawn. Crocuses are usually planted for the early spring although you can also get verities to enhance your Plant nursery.

They are slightly dependent on the type you are growing and exposure and survive best where winters are cold. They mostly need twelve to fifteen weeks to bloom. They look best when they are natural and make a wonderful sight in the early spring. They also do well in the alpine and rock garden by looking very beautiful.
