White Flower Farm Crocus vernus Jeanne d'Arc

Yes, 'Jeanne d'Arc' is an excellent choice for naturalizing in grass. For the best results, plant them in areas where you can delay mowing until the foliage has yellowed and died back, which allows the bulbs to store energy for next year's blooms.

Forcing involves planting the bulbs in pots during the fall and keeping them in a cool, dark place for several weeks to mimic winter dormancy. Once they have rooted, you bring them into a warmer, brighter spot to trigger early blooms inside your home.

No, these are hardy perennials. Once established in the ground, they can remain in the soil year-round and will return to bloom again each spring.

Yes, this variety is known for multiplying. If planted in a location they enjoy, the bulbs will naturally produce offsets, gradually creating larger, denser drifts of white flowers over the years.

Plant the bulbs 3 to 5 inches deep. A good rule of thumb is to plant them at a depth roughly three times the height of the bulb itself.

While they tolerate part shade, they perform best with at least a few hours of direct sunlight. Planting them in a spot that receives sun to part shade ensures the most vigorous growth and reliable flowering.
