I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Crocus Species 'Botanical Mixture'

Crocus

Species Crocus Mix bursts into bloom in late winter to early spring, featuring a vibrant array of white, yellow, purple, and striped varieties. These petite, cup-shaped flowers create a striking contrast against fresh green foliage, forming a colorful carpet that signals the arrival of spring. Growing 3 to 6 inches tall, they thrive in full sun to part shade and prefer well-drained soil.

Ideal for naturalizing, rock gardens, borders, and lawns, this mix is deer-resistant and reliably returns year after year. As an early-season nectar source, it supports pollinators while bringing effortless beauty to the landscape.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Crocus Species 'Botanical Mixture'

Planting: Plant species crocus corms in fall, about 3 inches deep and 2 to 3 inches apart, with the pointed end facing up. They naturalize well, so choose a spot where they can spread over time.
Location: Full sun is ideal, especially in early spring before deciduous trees leaf out. They also perform well in light shade.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil is best. Sandy or loamy soils are ideal; amend clay with compost or grit.
Watering: Water after planting and during active growth in late winter and early spring. Once dormant, they require little to no water.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring as growth begins.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to nourish the corms for next year.
Propagation: Naturalizes easily by offsets and seed. Divide clumps in summer when dormant if overcrowded.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free and deer-resistant. Rodents may dig up corms—planting with gravel or using deterrents can help.
