Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Advance' Snow Crocus corms in fall, placing them 2-3 inches deep and 3-5 inches apart in well-drained soil. They thrive in full sun to partial shade locations and are particularly effective when planted in drifts under deciduous trees, in rock gardens, or naturalized in lawns. For lawn plantings, allow foliage to die back naturally before mowing. These early bloomers will flower in very early spring, often as early as February in milder climates, providing crucial early-season nectar for pollinators.
