of respondents would recommend this to a friend
Charming, cup-shaped flowers in vivid colors are a welcome sight when they open in early spring. Giant Crocus Mix (C. vernus) is a random mix of purple, white, light blue and yellow crocus. Growing 3-6" tall, these early blooming spring bulbs are ideal for planting in edging, borders and containers. For an impressive look, plant giant crocus bulbs in groups of hundreds and thousands for naturalizing in the grass, woodlands, slopes and under trees. Crocus bulbs multiply rapidly, so you'll enjoy more blooms every year.

They bloomed nicely but the squirrels dug a lot of them up before they could come up. The daffodils were also very pretty.

Q
When do I plant the bulbs in MN
Asked by Maureen
Verified Reply - AngelaThe Giant Crocus bulbs should be planted in the fall. You can plant them as long as the ground is not frozen.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
I planted all of these bulbs last fall, but I'm not seeing any coming up. My daffodils have started to sprout, but no (none!) crocus. How can this be?
Asked by Marcy
Verified Reply - AngelaOh no. Is it possible the bulbs were planted too deeply and may be late to emerge? If not, then we may want to consider squirrels or rodents as the culprits. If they haven't started to show up in the next week or two, I would try digging some up to see if they are still there. Squirrels are known for replanting the bulbs elsewhere and supplying surprise blooms elsewhere in the garden. In either case, I would expect you to see some blooms. If not, please contact Customer Care for help with replacement bulbs or credit. We can be reached at 1-800.552.9916. Any agent will be happy to help. Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Deer resistant? Squirrel resistant?
Asked by Linda
Verified Reply - AngelaDeer will usually pass by Crocus if other food sources are available. Squirrels are known to dig up the bulbs and replant them. I'm not sure if they actually eat them. Was this answer helpful to you
