The jewel-like colors of the Yellow & Purple Snow Crocus Mix herald the coming of spring. Well named for their early arrival, snow crocus can be found poking up through the last of winter's snow. Plant in clusters along a path where you can enjoy the cheerful display, and watch as pollinators visit the early season blooms. (Crocus crysanthus)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
(3-4" tall x 2" wide) The earliest of spring's
flowers, Yellow & Purple Snow Crocus Mix will gladden the gardener's
spirits with plucky rich purple and golden yellow color before other flowers
appear. The small cup-shaped blooms are best viewed in sweeps of color, so
plant them in masses where they will show off and multiply over the years to
great visual effect. Snow Crocuses open wide in the sun and close up on rainy
days and at night. Easy to grow, plant the bulbs in well-drained soil 3-5"
deep, where they will receive at least 6 hours of sun per day. Lovely along
walks, around trees, nestled in rock gardens, and under shrubs. Plant with
Snowdrop (Galanthus) and Dwarf Iris (Iris reticulata). Deer, squirrel, and
rabbit resistant.
