Autumn blooming crocus (Colchicums) are here at Art Knapp Urban Garden and what stunning bulbs they are! Planted in September and blooming soon after, colchicums bear gorgeous crocus-like blooms on slender stems. White, soft purple and pink-toned varieties are available with their foliage appearing just after they bloom. They are wonderful naturalizers and are very impressive as mass plantings. We even carry Saffron crocus bulbs for those chefs out there.
1. Pick up your bulbs at our store (I love Snow Crocus because when nothing seems
to want to grow in the winter, those little beauties start popping up in Jan/Feb)
2. Dig the hole. Place the bulbs inside with something to help with the roots. (I have falling head
over heels for Mychorrizae or Myke as we call it for short. This stuff is fantastic!)
3. Cover with soil and water. Let the bulbs do all the work! You'll have great colour
for spring and you barely had to lift a finger.
We just received our first shipment of bulbs this week... so start planning your spring colour scheme now!
