Planting and Growing Information

Plant Crocus 'Whale Shark' bulbs in fall, approximately 3 inches deep and 3 inches apart in well-drained, sandy soil. They thrive in full sun to partial shade locations, making them perfect for planting under deciduous trees where they'll receive ample early spring sunlight before trees leaf out. Flowering occurs from February to March, depending on your climate zone. After blooming, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure strong returns in subsequent seasons.
