Planting and Growing Information
Plant Orange Monarch crocus corms in fall, approximately 3 inches deep and 3-4 inches apart, allowing 15 bulbs per square foot for optimal display. They thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer well-drained soil, avoiding areas with excessive winter wetness. After planting, water thoroughly and apply a light mulch in colder regions. These adaptable crocuses bloom from late winter to early spring, often pushing through the last snow. Allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure energy storage for next season's display.
