A crocus will create a beautiful colorful atmosphere in the garden early in the spring. The crocus is a very well-known bulbous plant that quickly shows itself as the sun does.
Crocuses give the best results when you plant them in large groups. A crocus develops best in well-drained soil. Plant them at a depth of about 8 cm.
If you want to help bees and bumblebees very early in the spring, plant crocuses in the fall! Crocuses are perennial plants with a good nectar and pollen content.
Within the group of spring-flowering crocuses, a distinction can be made between the botanical species and the large-flowered garden crocuses. Botanical crocuses have smaller flowers and bloom as early as February. Garden crocuses bloom later.
Most crocuses available for purchase are hybrids. Crocus is Greek and Arabic for saffron, a reference to the Crocus sativus (an autumn crocus) from which the spice saffron is derived. Since 1550, it has been cultivated in the Netherlands as an ornamental plant. The legend goes that Krokus, a handsome young man from Arcadia, was fatally struck by a discus while throwing it with his Olympic friend, the god Hermes, and that where his blood fell, purple flowers, crocuses, sprang up.
