Spring Flowering Crocus 
Bloom in early March and will grow in many places—in the lawn, flower borders, rock gardens, 
edge of shrubs, on the slopes of terraces, in sun or shade, and even under trees. For showy effect, 
plant bulbs 3 to 4in. apart, 2 in. deep. To avoid formal arrangements when planting in the lawn, 
scatter the bulbs and plant them where they fall. In borders, double rows 6 in. apart with the 
bulbs spaced 3 in. apart in each row are very showy; such ribbon arrangements are most striking. 
Well-drained, fairly rich soil will give the best results. 
Indoors: Plant 8 to 10 bulbs 1 in. deep, 2 in. apart, in a 6-in. container using light sandy soil 
to which bone meal has been added; water well and set in a cool cellar for about 6 weeks so that 
bulbs will become well rooted. When top growth has begun, bring them to the light. Keep in a 
cool location and gradually bring to a sunny position where it is not too hot. They will not stand 
forcing or too much heat. Usually bloom in six to seven weeks after they are well rooted. Make 
several plantings for a longer blooming period. 
Giant Flowered Crocus 
Best for growing indoors, and should be used in all outdoor plantings where the very largest 
blooms are wanted. Named varieties should be used for pot culture, one kind to a container.
