Growing Crocus Bulbs

Crocus bulbs are easy to plant and grow, thriving in various settings from formal beds to naturalized lawns—perfect for gardeners of all levels.

Climate and Soil Requirements

Best grown in USDA zones 3–9, crocuses prefer sunny to partly shaded areas with well-drained loamy or sandy soil to prevent rot.

Planting Time and Depth

Plant crocus bulbs in fall, 6–8 weeks before frost, about 3 inches deep and 1–2 inches apart, ideally in clusters for visual impact.

Sunlight and Watering

They thrive in full sun or light shade and require minimal watering once established; avoid soggy soil to prevent bulb rot.

Care and Maintenance

Let foliage die back naturally after blooming; crocuses multiply over time and need little maintenance once established.
