Crocus nudiflorus Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a well-drained sandy or loamy soil that is free from clay[137]. Prefers some shade from the hottest sun in summer and at least a modicum of moisture during its summer dormancy[200]. Succeeds in grass, so long as this is not mown until the leaves die down, it also grows well under deep-rooting deciduous trees and shrubs[200]. It can also be grown with very low shallow-rooting groundcover plants such as lawn camomile (Chamaemelum nobile 'Treneague')[200]. Plants are very frost hardy[137]. Plants tend to move considerably from their original planting place because of their means of vegetative reproduction, it is therefore wise not to grow different species in close proximity[1]. The corms should be planted about 5 - 8cm deep in the soil[200]. Any planting out is best done in late spring or early summer[245]. Plants take 4 - 5 years to come into flowering from seed. The flowers are only open during the day time, closing at night[245]. For further Crocus nudiflorus gardening information |
