Plant crocus bulbs in autumn and you'll have carpets of purple, white and blue in February and March, in your lawn, under shrubs or in a pot on the patio. On a sunny day the flowers open wide and the first bees of the year come buzzing in. This collection includes large-flowered crocuses and dainty species crocuses, in single colours and in mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrocuses may be small, but they do a lot. They're easy to plant, take up very little space and, in the right spot, come back every year, often with more flowers than before.

Because they flower so early, crocuses like to be in the ground in good time so they can root before winter. September and October are ideal. If you're running late, you can keep planting into November and even December as long as the ground isn't frozen; they'll simply flower a little later and perhaps less generously in the first year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough we call them bulbs, crocuses actually grow from crocus corms: small, flattened corms wrapped in a papery brown tunic.

There are two easy ways to plant them. Use a spade to cut and lift a flap of turf, place the corms underneath and press the turf back down. Or use a bulb planter or narrow trowel to make individual holes 5 to 8 cm deep. Scatter the corms over the grass first and plant them where they land for a natural look. Don't mow until the crocus leaves have turned yellow, usually four to six weeks after flowering.
