This early blooming crocus has been planted in the lawn immediately off the garden classroom (around 5,000 bulbs), and in parts of the ‘Great Lawn’. This species is supposed to be squirrel resistant, and generally is. However, that does not stop the buggers from biting off the flower heads! After the plants have finished blooming, we wait six weeks before mowing, as the plants need time to pull energy down, for the following year. If you are anal retentive, we would not recommend ‘naturalizing’ this bulb in your lawn…. Selected forms range from white thru various shades of purple.
