Crocus sativus (Saffron Crocus) Corms

Crocus sativus bulbs yield a unique plant, the delicate blooms of which appear in a soft lilac hue with a bold yellow anther, and three eye-catching crimson stigmas - the prized threads used in Saffron production.

The Saffron Crocus is a robust plant capable of flourishing in several environments, particularly one with a moist, well-drained soil and exposure to plentiful sunlight. It is an excellent option for cultivating a naturalised space and can grow and spread each year. Additionally, it is capable of attracting pollinators and other forms of wildlife to the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time for autumn planting of spring bulbs?

The ideal time to plant spring flowering bulbs like tulips, daffodils, crocus, and snowdrops is from September to November. Planting during this period allows bulbs to establish roots before winter and ensures a healthy, vibrant bloom in early spring, with stunning green foliage and flower colours ranging from purple and blue to bright yellows and whites.

How long do spring bulbs take to flower?

Most spring bulbs planted in autumn start to flower between February and May, depending on the type. Early bloomers like snowdrops and crocus appear first, while tulips and daffodils follow later in spring, creating a sequential display of colour.

Can I plant different types of spring bulbs together?

Yes! Mixing different bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, and muscari adds something extra in terms of colour and texture to your garden. Planting in clusters or drifts creates a natural, layered effect, letting you get a longer flowering season and a richer display for both you and pollinators.

Do I need to remove foliage after flowering?

Yes, but allow leaves to die back naturally rather than cutting them too early. Leaving the foliage lets the plant save energy, which the bulbs use to produce strong, vibrant flowers come next spring.
