Crocus serotinus Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most soils, conditions and positions[1]. Plants grow well in a peaty soil in a bulb frame and should succeed outdoors in a sandy peaty soil[90]. The subspecies C. serotinus austriacus can be naturalized in grass or beneath deep rooting trees on light well-drained soils[200]. 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]. Any planting out is best done in late spring or early summer[245]. Mice are very fond of the corms of this species[1]. Plants take 3 - 4 years to flower from seed[200]. The flowers are only open during the day time, closing at night[245]. For further Crocus serotinus gardening information |
