The care secret that transformed my Crocus

I'd had Crocus for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to planting at three times the depth of the bulb and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

some of the earliest colour in the garden after winter became much more pronounced. The plant in a cut flower garden for fresh indoor arrangements now looks like a completely different specimen. summer bulbs like gladiolus and allium extending the season confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. bulb rot from waterlogging in poorly drained soil has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Crocus is underwhelming, look at planting at three times the depth of the bulb first.
