            Why we like this plant Crocus 'Mixed Species' delivers a joyful scattering of colour in soft yet vibrant tones that feel wonderfully natural. These dainty blooms lend themselves to informal settings, where they appear to have sprung up by happy accident. With their fine petals and fresh palette, they bring a gentle lift to late winter days, and are especially pleasing when allowed to form informal drifts through grass or beneath deciduous trees.

                Let the foliage fade back naturally after flowering to feed the corms for the next year. To keep displays full, divide and replant clumps every few years where needed.
