The crocus bulb is sold loose, per piece. Grow crocuses in sunny or semi-shaded areas and in well-drained soil. Crocuses, like most sun-loving plants, bloom in spring, which allows them to be planted even under deciduous trees. Avoid planting crocuses under evergreen trees due to the dense shade which blocks the spring sunlight. The bulbs of spring-flowering crocuses are planted in autumn, while bulbs of autumn-flowering crocuses are planted in spring.

Planting is done at a depth of 5 centimeters and at a distance of 5-8 centimeters apart, with the pointed end facing upward. Fertilizer during planting is not necessary, but a little organic compost can help. Crocus bulbs "divide", and it is possible to separate them for propagation, as well as to prevent overcrowding and degeneration.

The best time for dividing the bulbs is after flowering, when the foliage has completely yellowed and dried out. The foliage remains vibrant for a period after flowering, allowing the plant to continue nourishing itself. You should check that the leaves have completely yellowed before removing them, so the bulb has stored enough nutrients for the new season. If crocuses are grown in flowerbeds, you can let them wither naturally. If they are planted among grass, it’s difficult to spot them, as their leaves yellow six weeks after flowering. Mowing the grass during this period is not feasible unless the planting spots are marked.
