Crocus seasonal highlights — a year in review

I've been growing Crocus for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. peak spring bulb display from tulips and daffodils was the clear high point — everything you're told about Crocus at that time of year is true. But the plant has something to offer in every season, which I hadn't expected.

some of the earliest colour in the garden after winter is consistent throughout the year, which is one of its real strengths. I've settled on a mixed border with later-emerging perennials to hide dying foliage as the ideal position. leaving foliage to die back naturally after flowering was the lesson I took into next year. squirrel and mouse predation on newly planted bulbs is the only thing that interrupted the enjoyment. Otherwise: excellent.
