How to Grow Large Flowering Mixed Crocus Bulbs in Ireland

Plant large-flowering crocus bulbs in autumn for a charming early spring display in February to March. These hardy, low-growing crocuses are ideal for naturalising in grass or gravel, thriving in Ireland’s cool, moist spring conditions.

• Planting Depth: 5–7 cm deep

• Spacing: 5–8 cm apart

• Soil: Well-drained soil (tolerates poor or rocky ground)

• Sunlight: Full sun to light shade

• Blooming Time: February to March
