Crocus chrysanthus Blue Pearl Bulbs produce delicate pale-blue flowers with softly contrasting centres, bringing subtle colour to the garden from late winter into early spring. Their neat, compact habit makes them especially effective when planted in generous groups.

Supplied as a pack of 25 bulbs, plants reach around 10cm and flower from February to March. They are ideal for lawns, border fronts, rockeries and containers and provide useful early forage for pollinators. Plant from September to November in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.

Bulb size: 5/6
Bulb sizes are measured by circumference in centimetres. A 5/6 bulb measures approximately 5-6cm around. Larger bulbs generally contain more stored energy, helping to support strong growth and an impressive flowering display.

All of the bulbs we offer have been trialled and tested, either on our own trials ground, here in Suffolk, or on those of our growers, who we work with to ensure we offer the best range for British gardens.
