Crocus
Naturehills.com carries thousands of products including the Crocus - Fall Flowering - Saffron
from the Fall Flower Bulbs family.
The Saffron Crocus, Crocus species, is lilac colored with orange stems. This fall blooming crocus is a wonderful addition to autumn gardens. Their blooms form lovely chalice-shaped cups. Leaves turn to a golden yellow as they mature, blending with fall foliage. Will bloom within weeks of planting this fall! Saffron Crocus is a wonderful Crocus that survives in rock gardens, the lawn, and the front of the border. The bright colors of the Crocus show up as soon as the snow has melted, announcing the coming of spring.
These wonderful tiny Crocuses have more, but smaller, flowers than the Giant Crocus. Blooming in early spring for 3 weeks, crocuses perform best in a sandy, well-drained soil. Crocus bulbs remaining in the ground will always bloom a bit earlier than the ones planted the previous year. For a massive effect, plant in great sweeps of 100 to 150 bulbs. Use them in rock gardens, ground covers, containers, mass plantings and borders.
