Crocus

The bulbs came in nice and healthy. I planted them per the instructions . They just started to sprout and then it got quite cold and snowy. I’m hoping that I will still get saffron from them.

Questionable ship date

Bulbs were healthy. Problem was by the time I recieved them they didn't have time to flower before first snow. Hopefully they produce next fall.

Saffron

I've tried to grow saffron for many years without success. Indoors or outdoors, no luck. The bulbs you sent me have performed amazingly well. I am growing them indoors and they love it. The bulbs are sending out multiple stems and are already 10 to 12 inches tall. And I don't have to fight the squirrels or the slugs. Thank you so much for the good stock. Your service and packaging no doubt contributed to my success. Tell your people how much I appreciate them.

Plant bulbs immediately upon arrival. Fall blooming crocus prefer a location in full sun to partial shade. Plant in moist, well-drained soil, 4 inches deep and space them 6 inches apart. Blooms will appear soon after planting.
