Plant crocus bulbs in fall to bloom in spring. Crocus readily naturalize and multiply over the years. Their grasslike leaves emerge early in the season, let it mature for six weeks after bloom. By then, it's time for the grass to get cut! For naturalizing tips, see www.bulb.com 7.5 x 7.5 at 300 dpi
