How to Select Healthy Dutch Crocus？

To purchase and select a healthy dutch crocus, ensure the leaves are vibrant and free from discoloration. Check for signs of pests or diseases, such as holes or spots on the foliage. The plant should exhibit overall vigor, with no wilting or drooping. Inspect the roots, if possible, to confirm they are white or light-colored and not root-bound. Also, choose plants with buds that haven’t yet opened for prolonged blooming.
