White Flower Farm Crocus pulchellus

These bulbs are shipped in September and should be planted immediately upon arrival. Planting them in the fall allows the corms to establish themselves before the blooming season begins.

Crocus pulchellus is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9. As long as your garden falls within these zones, the plants will return as perennials year after year.

For the best results, space the bulbs 3 inches apart. Planting them in large, dense drifts creates a beautiful, low-growing ground cover effect that highlights their delicate, goblet-shaped flowers.

Yes, this variety is considered deer resistant, making it a reliable choice for landscapes where wildlife pressure is a concern. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, they typically avoid this specific crocus.

These crocuses thrive in both full sun and partial shade. While they perform well in sunny spots, they are versatile enough to be tucked into areas that receive filtered light throughout the day.

Crocus pulchellus is a low-maintenance perennial. Once established, they require minimal care and will naturally attract beneficial bees to your garden during their autumn and early winter bloom time.
