September: Crocus

September: Crocus

This month's plant of the month, as selected by our friends at online garden centre, Crocus.co.uk, is the crocus! September's the time to get planting these beautiful spring flowers, so here's a selection to get you inspired...

There are almost as many ways to use this versatile little plant as there are varieties. Equally pretty naturalised in the lawn or used to lighten up the base of deciduous shrubs and trees, crocuses can also be planted along the edges of beds and borders and in almost any-sized container.

Crocus.co.uk is offering a special collection of these beautiful bulbs this September for you to get planting in good time for the spring. The collection consists of an amazing 150 bulbs , 50 of each of the following, plus 25 free Crocus tommasinianus.

  • Crocus 'Ard Schenk' - A floriferous variety that produces long-lasting white flowers flushed purple outside, in February and March. The plants are 7-10cm tall.
  • Crocus 'Whitewell Purple' - Early flowering, showy, reddish-purple flowers in February and March that are excellent naturalised in grass. The plants are 7-10cm tall.
  • Crocus 'Cream Beauty' - Free-flowering introduction with the palest of dairy cream flowers with bright orange stamens in February and March. The plants are 7-10cm tall.
  • Crocus Tommasinianus - Great for naturalising, this variety has open deep purple, lilac, blue and white flowers in February and March. The plants are 7-10cm tall.

    To buy this selection of bulbs, check out the Crocus.co.uk website where you can buy the whole collection of 150 bulbs (plus 25 free bulbs) for £9.95.
