Large-flowered crocuses bloom a little later

From March to May they enchant flower beds, lawns and meadows with a colorful sea of flowers.
Autumn is the blooming time of the autumn crocuses
The flowering time of the autumn crocus starts when many other flowers in the garden have already faded.
From September to October, they give the garden another real color.
The right location is important
In order for the crocus flowers to develop properly, they need air and light, and preferably also the sun. Therefore plant them in a location where the flowers are as sunny as possible. After flowering, the sun no longer plays a role. Then the spring flowers also thrive in the shade.
Tips & Tricks
The cooler it stays, the longer the spring crocus flowers will last. As soon as it gets warmer, the colorful splendor is unfortunately over quickly.
