How to Grow and Care for Snow crocus

Snow crocus

Snow crocus is a low-maintenance bulbous plant ideal for temperate regions. Key care needs include well-drained soil and full to partial sunlight during the growing period. Special care points involve planting the bulbs at the correct depth, about 3 inches deep, in autumn to ensure spring blooms. Avoiding excess water to prevent bulb rot is crucial, as snow crocus has a particular sensitivity to overly wet conditions.

Snow crocus 'Zwanenburg Bronze' is an arresting crocus that blooms in a bright shade of golden yellow.

Snow crocus 'Goldilocks'

If the name "Goldilocks" wasn't a giveaway, the most defining characteristic of snow crocus 'Goldilocks' is the color of its blooms. They put on a show with incredibly rich golden/yellow petals and a purple/brown detailing on the blooms' outer tepals. Another reason gardeners like this crocus cultivar is its versatility; group them in traditional gardens or scatter them throughout a rock garden for added color.

Snow crocus 'Romance' blooms early to unveil delicate, soft yellow tones with deeper yellow stripes. This is a cultivar of the snow crocus and part of a hybridisation program initiated by Jan Hoog of the Van Tubergen Nursery. Snow crocuses delight the eye with their colors and add a little romance to a still-snowy landscape.
