Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Firefly' crocus corms in fall, approximately 3 inches deep and 2-3 inches apart. They thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent rot. Flowering occurs from late winter to early spring, with blooms opening in sunlight and closing at night or during cloudy weather. After blooming, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure energy storage for next season's display. No deadheading required.
