How to Plant Crocus Bulbs?
 

To plant Crocus Bulbs the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Dorothy Crocus should be planted roughly 2" deep and 2" apart from one another.

Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.

When to Plant Dorothy Crocus?
  Crocus Bulbs are normally planted Late Fall, and most Dorothy Crocus will begin to flower sometime in Mid Spring.
