Eden Brothers Monarch Crocus

Crocus Orange Monarch bulbs should be planted in the fall, before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom in early spring.

Plant your bulbs 3 to 4 inches deep. For the best visual impact, space them 2 to 3 inches apart, which allows them to clump together naturally as they grow.

Yes, these are perennials. As long as they are planted in a suitable environment, they will return and bloom reliably each spring, often naturalizing and spreading over time.

Yes, Crocus olivieri balansae is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, these are generally ignored by deer and other common garden pests.

Absolutely. Their compact size—reaching only 4 to 6 inches in height—makes them an excellent choice for container gardens, window boxes, or as a dense groundcover.

They are quite versatile and will thrive in either full sun or partial shade. If you live in a region with very hot springs, a spot with partial shade can actually help the blooms last a bit longer.
