One of the earlier flowering crocus, the soft yellow blooms of this little gem will help chase the winter blues away. Perfect for planting in alpine beds and rockeries, or forming naturalised swathes in the lawn, Crocus 'Romance' is an easy to grow bulb that will slowly spread to form a generous cluster.
Plant bulbs in naturalistic drifts 10cm (4in) deep in September or October, in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. Space bulbs to allow room for natural spreading over the years. Water in well after planting if the soil is dry.
Where bulbs are planted in grass, avoid cutting the lawn until the leaves have fully died back, as this allows the bulbs to store energy for next year’s growth. Mulching lightly with compost or leaf mould can help protect against harsh winter conditions and improve soil fertility.
For best display, plant in groups rather than single bulbs to create a more natural, colourful effect.
