Crocus Large Flowering 'Blue Moon Mixture'

Crocus

Crocus 'Blue Moon Mix' creates a vibrant display of purple, blue, and white blooms, forming a dense carpet of color. The petals range from soft lavender to deep violet, with some featuring delicate striping for added dimension. These early spring flowers emerge through the grass, providing a striking contrast against the lush green foliage.

This mix is deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, and excellent for naturalizing, making it a low-maintenance choice for lawns, borders, and rock gardens. It also serves as an important food source for pollinators at the start of the season.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Crocus Large Flowering 'Blue Moon Mixture'

Planting: Plant corms in fall, 3 to 4 inches deep and 3 inches apart, with the pointed end facing up. Choose a well-drained site that receives full sun to partial shade.
Location: Ideal beneath deciduous trees, in borders, rock gardens, or naturalized in lawns—where they bloom before tree canopies leaf out.
Soil: Prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil with a neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Amend heavy clay with compost or sand to improve drainage.
Watering: Water after planting and during active spring growth. Once dormant, they require little to no water.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. Avoid high-nitrogen feeds.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to replenish the corm.
Propagation: Naturalizes easily by offsets. Divide clumps in summer when dormant if overcrowded.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free, though rodents may dig up corms. Deer-resistant. Avoid soggy soil to prevent rot.
