{"product_id":"krokusbollen-mix","title":"Crocus bulbs mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Crocus bulbs mix are a colourful mix of purple, white, yellow and striped crocuses. They are large-flowered crocuses of around 10 to 12 centimetres tall, with sturdy cups that together create a cheerful, varied picture. Because they multiply every year, this mix is an easy way to bring colour back to the garden each spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll corms are size 7\/8 and each produce a few flowers. Put them in pots and planters on the balcony or patio, in the front row of the border, or let them naturalise in the lawn and under trees. With 70 bulbs you plant a few planters or a generous spot next to the patio, with 140 bulbs a long edge along a path or border. For a flowering lawn or a wide strip under trees, 280 or 560 bulbs are the best choice; you need 100 to 150 per square metre. If you want one colour to stand out more, add some single-colour \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/green-bubble.com\/en-de\/collections\/crocus-bulbs\"\u003ecrocus bulbs\u003c\/a\u003e in that shade.

If there is no frost, you can also plant in December. The winter cold is needed to trigger flowering, so spring planting does not work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen do the Crocus bulbs mix flower?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crocus bulbs mix flower from February to April. The different colours do not all open on the same day, so you can enjoy about three weeks of flowers. A pot against a warm wall is often a week ahead, while a harsh spring holds them back a little longer. New cormlets are added every year, so the patches of colour grow by themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and tips Crocus bulbs mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA good rule of thumb is two to three times the height of the corm: so plant them 8 to 10 centimetres deep, pointed end up and 5 to 8 centimetres apart. Light, free-draining soil is ideal; on wet clay, mix some coarse sand into the planting hole. Pots and planters need a hole in the bottom and a drainage layer of gravel; choose an attractive pot from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/green-bubble.com\/en-de\/collections\/outside-pots-in-baskets\"\u003eoutdoor pots and baskets\u003c\/a\u003e. After flowering, leave the foliage alone until it withers, and only mow the lawn six weeks later. A little bulb fertiliser in early spring supports growth for the next season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWater needs of the Crocus bulbs mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtra water is rarely needed in open ground; rain and thaw provide enough moisture. After planting in an exceptionally dry autumn, give one good watering. In planters and pots the soil can dry out in spring, so water there when the soil feels dry. Water must always be able to drain away; if it stands, the corms will rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLight needs of the Crocus bulbs mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA spot in full sun is ideal for the Crocus bulbs mix. There the flowers open wide and you see the stripes and colours at their best. Under deciduous trees they also do well, because in February and March plenty of light still falls between the bare branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAre the Crocus bulbs mix toxic?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crocus bulbs mix are mildly toxic if ingested, in particular the corms. Keep them away from pets and young children. A pair of garden gloves prevents skin irritation for people with sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow will my Crocus bulbs mix be shipped?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour bulbs are carefully packed and shipped. That way they arrive safely and fresh from the grower.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everspring","offers":[{"title":"70 bulbs","offer_id":53909203812618,"sku":"61434","price":33.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"140 bulbs","offer_id":53909208269066,"sku":"61579","price":46.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"280 bulbs","offer_id":53909208301834,"sku":"61580","price":67.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"560 bulbs","offer_id":53909208334602,"sku":"61582","price":113.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/4779\/2394\/files\/thumbnail_2000_ee1e69d0-e076-4df6-a219-c3753603f1d4.png?v=1792014195","url":"https:\/\/green-bubble.com\/en-de\/products\/crocus-bulbs-mix","provider":"Green Bubble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
