It is known for its prolific, smaller blossoms that emerge before the foliage, making it an ideal choice for naturalizing. These low-maintenance perennials multiply readily and return in greater numbers each spring. Planting these bulbs in your landscape is a simple, effective way to bring early-season color and support beneficial pollinators.

Growing Cream Beauty Crocus Bulbs
Cream Beauty crocus bulbs are easy to grow and versatile, thriving in various garden styles from naturalized lawns to structured borders.
Climate and Soil Requirements
They grow best in USDA zones 3–9 in well-drained sandy or loamy soil and prefer sunny to partly shaded spots, such as beneath deciduous trees.
Planting Time and Depth
Plant in fall about 6–8 weeks before the first hard frost, placing bulbs 3 inches deep and 1–2 inches apart for a natural clustered effect.
Sunlight and Watering
These crocuses thrive in full sun but tolerate some shade, needing deep watering after planting and minimal moisture once established.
Care and Maintenance
Let foliage die back naturally to support future blooms; there's no need to lift bulbs, as they multiply easily and return year after year.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.

I bought and planted these in fall 2019. I dug a quick trench, added a little fertilizer, placed the bulbs, covered with soil and a layer of mulch, and watered them in. They are very small bulbs with delicate flowers. After a drier than normal winter, most if not all have sprouted and 1/4 were blooming at the end of February.
