#ProPlantTips for Care:
While complex in color, the Tricolor Crocus is simple to care for. Plant yours 4 inches apart in fall and wait for them to come alive in spring. While they do naturally increase over time, they don't need to be separated until the spacing impacts their performance. Like other Crocuses, these prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils.
Provide moderate moisture and some bulb fertilizer when planting in the fall. When forcing bulbs indoors, or so they will bloom in the spring, these fall-planted bulbs need at least 6-8 weeks of Chill Hours to bloom. Trim the foliage back after it yellows in the late summer or fall after frost.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Clean Foliage After It Yellows
- Deer Resistant
- Low Maintenance Perennial Bulb
