Crocuses are well known, but hardly anyone knows the autumn crocus. The bulbs should be planted in small groups and no later than August.
One flower associated with spring is the crocus. This is, so to speak, the harbinger of spring par excellence, when from March, sometimes even from February, he sticks his cheeky head out of the ground to see when spring will finally come. But hardly anyone knows the autumn crocus.
Put autumn crocus in summer
The autumn crocus looks deceptively similar to its relatives in spring, but blooms from September. This means that it has to be planted in August at the latest if you want to see it bloom. In small groups in the meadow or in the bed, he does very well. It is also popular for the rock garden.
Plant the bulbs in small groups
The bulbs are planted about 5 to 10 centimeters into the ground. This way it comes into its own in small groups. By the way, you don't have to dig up the onions. They can stay in the ground all year round and then form daughter bulbs. Your autumn crocuses will become more lush from year to year.
