FAQ about Crocus – White

What kind of soil do crocuses prefer?
Crocuses thrive in well-drained soil that does not become waterlogged in winter. A sandy or gritty soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH is ideal. Avoid heavy, wet clay, which can make the corms rot.
How often should crocuses be watered?
Crocuses rarely need extra water, as spring rain is usually enough. In a very dry spring you can water lightly while they flower and the leaves develop. Overwatering causes rot, and once the leaves have yellowed no watering is needed at all.
Do crocuses need cutting back?
Crocuses need no real pruning, but leave the leaves until they have yellowed naturally, as this is essential for next year's flowers. You can remove faded flowers if you like, but it makes no difference to the plant's health.
Which pests and diseases can affect crocuses?
Rot caused by wet soil and poor drainage is the most common problem. Mice, squirrels and other rodents love to eat the corms, so planting at the right depth or under wire mesh helps. Birds sometimes peck at the flowers too.
How do crocuses survive the winter?
Crocuses are fully hardy and need a cold spell to flower in spring. The corms rest in the ground and need no winter protection. Just make sure the planting site drains well so they are not left sitting in water.
