Chionodoxa Forbesii

Flowers in March/April. Height approx 25cm/10 inches
Planting depth 5cm/2 inches
Crocus will grow in a wide range of soils provided there is good drainage. They like sunshine but the flowers will last longer in partial shade. Excellent for naturalising (leaving in for flowers year after year). Suitable for rockeries, between shrubs and in any kind of container. When planting, place wire netting just under the soil surface to prevent mice or squirrels eating the corms.
