FAQs
When is the best time to plant Crocus Romance bulbs?
These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, ideally before the first hard frost, to allow roots to establish before spring.
Can I grow these in containers?
Yes, they are excellent for patio pots, provided the container has good drainage holes and high-quality potting compost.
How deep should I plant them?
A general rule of thumb is to plant them at a depth of about three times the height of the bulb.
Do I need to dig them up after flowering?
No, as a hardy perennial, they are designed to stay in the ground and will naturalize over time.
Will they survive a harsh winter?
Yes, Crocus Romance is fully hardy and capable of surviving typical UK winter conditions while in the ground.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to sprout
Ensure they were planted at the correct depth and that the soil is not overly compacted or waterlogged.
Flowers appearing stunted
This often indicates poor drainage or a lack of sunlight during the early spring growth phase.
Bulbs rotting in storage
Verify storage conditions are dry, cool, and well-ventilated; remove any bulbs showing soft spots immediately.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent early-season color

- Reliable, hardy perennial growth

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, plant these bulbs in a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-draining soil. Bury the bulbs roughly three times their own depth with the pointed end facing upward. If you cannot plant the bulbs immediately upon delivery, store them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area that remains frost-free. This ensures they remain dormant until they are ready to be placed in the ground. During the growing season, avoid over-watering, as bulb rot can occur in stagnant, waterlogged soil.
