Crocus - Roseus - Delicately Shimmering Petals - Bulbs - Large Pack - 100 pcs

Crocus Roseus stands out in early spring with its light purple blooms and a subtle sheen on each petal. These compact flowers reach up to 10 cm, forming a striking carpet of colour at a time when most gardens are still emerging from winter. The unique appeal of this variety lies in the gentle contrast between its pale floral tones and the vivid yellow stamens, making it a distinct feature among other garden bulbs. Crocus Roseus is ideal for creating dense, decorative groupings on borders, rockeries or even naturalised in lawns, and is valued for its neat, low-growing habit.

Planting Time

For best results, plant Crocus Roseus bulbs from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter sets in, ensuring reliable flowering in March.

Planting Depth

Bulbs should be set at a depth of 6-8 cm. This helps protect them from frost and supports healthy growth throughout the season.

Spacing

A spacing of 5-10 cm is recommended. This provides each plant with enough room to develop, while still achieving a full, cohesive display without overcrowding.

Height

Crocus Roseus reaches approximately 10 cm in height. Its compact form makes it especially well-suited to the front of borders and rock gardens, where it can be easily appreciated.

Flowering Time

This variety blooms in March, bringing a fresh burst of colour just as the garden begins to wake after winter. The light purple flowers are among the earliest perennial bulbs to appear, providing valuable early-season interest.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Crocus Roseus is fully hardy and winters well in the ground. Once planted at the recommended depth, the bulbs tolerate low temperatures and do not require lifting during the colder months.

Uses

These light purple crocuses are highly versatile - they perform well in rockeries, along paths, in borders, or as a natural addition to lawns. Crocus Roseus is also suitable for planting in containers and pots on balconies or terraces, where it can be combined with other early-flowering garden bulbs for original spring displays. Its compact size makes it particularly effective in group plantings with other early spring varieties.
