Crocus are among the most beloved spring-flowering bulbs, bursting into bloom from February to March and signalling the arrival of warmer days. Their cheerful cup-shaped flowers appear in shades of purple, yellow, white, and striped bi-colours, creating vibrant displays that lift the garden out of winter’s chill. Perfect for planting in lawns, borders, rockeries, or pots, Crocus bulbs naturalise beautifully — spreading year after year to form colourful carpets of early spring joy.
Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, these hardy perennials are low-maintenance and pollinator-friendly, offering vital early nectar for bees. Popular varieties include Crocus tommasinianus, Crocus vernus ‘Pickwick’, and Crocus chrysanthus ‘Cream Beauty’, each adding charm and brightness to every garden style.
Combine Crocus with Snowdrops, Iris reticulata, and Hellebores for a stunning early-spring display that brings colour and life when you need it most.
