This Organic Crocus Species Mix is a cheerful and early burst of colour, perfect for brightening up the garden after a long winter. Grown organically without the use of synthetic fertilisers or pesticides, this carefully selected mix features a delightful range of botanical crocus species in soft lilacs, rich purples, sunny yellows, and delicate whites. Their small yet striking blooms are among the first to appear in late winter to early spring, often flowering through the snow and heralding the start of a new growing season.
Smaller and more naturalistic than the larger Dutch hybrids, these species crocuses have a charming, delicate look that’s ideally suited to informal settings. They’re perfect for naturalising in lawns, woodland edges, under deciduous trees, or between paving stones, where they can slowly multiply and form beautiful carpets over time. Their low-growing habit and refined blooms also make them a lovely addition to rock gardens, containers, and the front of sunny borders.
This crocus mix thrives in well-drained soil and a sunny to lightly shaded spot. They prefer soil that isn’t overly rich, mimicking their natural habitat, and benefit from being kept relatively dry during their summer dormancy. Plant the bulbs in autumn at a depth of around 7–10 cm and spaced about 5–10 cm apart. Once planted, they need very little care and will return each year with even greater vigour.
Not only are these crocuses a joy to see, they’re also an excellent early nectar source for bees and other pollinators emerging from hibernation. With their charming appearance, naturalising potential, and ecological value, this Organic Crocus Species Mix is a perfect choice for gardeners looking to combine beauty with sustainability.
