I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail. The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization. I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Crocus Large Flowering 'Golden Yellow'

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.
