Species Crocus Mix

The First Color of the Year, Scattered Right Across Your LawnSpecies Crocus Mix opens while winter is still hanging around, sending up small goblet-shaped flowers in blue, white, purple, yellow and striped bicolors. At just 4-6 inches tall, these little bulbs tuck into lawns, borders, rock gardens and under deciduous trees without crowding anything out. They are champion naturalizers, multiplying year after year into wider and wider drifts. The grassy foliage dies back early in the season, so you can mow as usual once the show is over. Plant them in containers or window boxes too, and set them by the door where you will actually see the first blooms. Why You'll Love the Species Crocus Mix Blooms in late winter to early spring (February-March), weeks ahead of most bulbs. A mix of blue, white, purple, yellow and striped flowers from one easy planting. Naturalizes freely, so a single planting spreads into bigger sweeps of color each year. Early-fading foliage means no waiting around to mow the lawn. Cold hardy in zones 3-9 and happy in full sun through light shade. Plant them in fall, forget about them, and let spring do the rest.
