Most crocuses bloom in spring, but only in autumn
In spring and autumn is the heyday of crocus
The heyday of the crocuses depends on which species grow in the garden. Small-flowered varieties show the first flowers in the year. The large-flowered varieties need a little longer to bloom. In the autumn, the autumn crocuses make their big appearance.

Flowering of early flowering crocuses
The first flowers of the crocus show up as soon as the soil is no longer completely frozen. The small-flowered crocus species form solid tips that can even penetrate snowpacks.
The main flowering time of this crocus begins in February and lasts until March.
Large-flowered crocuses bloom a little later
Crocuses with larger flowers appear a little later. They are not quite as robust and grow only when the air temperatures rise a bit.
They enchant flowerbeds, lawns and meadows from March to May with a colorful sea of flowers.
In autumn, the heyday of autumn crocuses
The heyday of autumn crocuses begins when many other flowers in the garden have already faded.
From September to October, they really give the garden its color.
The right location is important
In order for the flowers of the crocus to develop properly, they need air and light, like the sun. Therefore, plant them in a location where the flowers are as sunny as possible. After flowering, the sun does not matter anymore. Then the spring flowers also thrive in the shade.
Tips & Tricks
The cooler it stays, the longer the flowers of the spring crocus will last. As soon as it gets warmer, the colorful splendor is quickly over.
