    Crocus sieberi

    The Tricolor Specie (or Snow) Crocus is spectacular site and probably the most interesting of all of the crocus! Its soft violet petals turn to a brilliant yellow-orange in the center of the bloom with a distinct spalsh of white in the middle of the petals. Looks exquisite when planted among solid white and yellow crocus!

    • Crocus like a sunny location, but will tolerate partial shade.
    • Crocus require well-drained soil with organic matter. Amend soil with organic matter such as compost, manure or peat humus.
    • Space your crocus 2-4” apart, or plant together in one large hole leaving a small amount of space between bulbs so they are not touching.
    • Crocus don’t always have a noticeably pointed end. Plant your crocus 2-3” deep, with the flattest side touching the earth. If you are unsure which side is up, plant the crocus corms on their side, they will straighten out to find the sun.
    • Fertilize at planting with Hi Yield Bulb Food or for organic gardening use Bulb-Tone. Apply fertilizer at least 2” below the bottom of the bulbs so that the roots will get the most benefit from the fertilizer.
    • Water the area the crocus have been planted immediately after. Additional water in fall and winter is not necessary; bulbs prefer to be kept dry when dormant.
    • Apply a 2” layer of mulch in late fall.

    This is a unique crocus. Small but very cute goes along well with my giant rubies and daffodils. Looks better planted in a crowd. The foliage is slightly lighter in color than ruby and the base of the flower is orange on the outside. Delicious. Rabbit & deer seem to prefer jeanne and ruby over this. So far have not bothered even without wiring.
