Bulb Planting Instructions (Jumbo Crocus Mixture)
-
Timing: Plant bulbs in fall, about 6–8 weeks before the ground freezes.
-
Location: Choose a well-drained spot in full sun or light shade. Excellent for lawns, under trees, or along walkways.
-
Depth & Position: Plant bulbs 3–4 inches deep with the pointed tip facing up.
-
Spacing: Space bulbs 3 inches apart for a natural, carpeted effect.
-
Watering: Water after planting to help establish roots; minimal watering needed afterward.
-
Care: Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally after blooming — this recharges bulbs for the following spring. Avoid mowing or cutting foliage until it has fully withered.
-
Maintenance: Leave bulbs undisturbed to naturalize and multiply over time; divide clumps every 3–4 years if they become overcrowded.
🌸 Jumbo Crocus Mixture is a carefree and colorful way to welcome spring, providing reliable early blooms and natural beauty that multiplies effortlessly year after year.
