Win Suttons Crocus Bulbs

This competition has now closed but thank you to all those who took part. Congratulations goes to our 3 winners who each won a bundle of Suttons crocus bulbs.

For more inspiration, here’s everything you need about planting crocus in your garden, or browse our full range of crocus bulbs.

Why everyone should plant crocus bulbs

If you plant autumn-flowering crocuses alongside spring-flowering varieties you’ll benefit from a long and joyful splash of jewel-like colours through the greyest period of the year. These yellow, orange, purple and white blooms are perfect for containers, sunny window boxes, the front of borders or naturalising in lawns. 

More than just a pretty petal, crocuses provide much-needed food for pollinators as they emerge from hibernation. In late winter, they’re often the only flowers in bloom until the rest of the spring bulbs burst into life. 

How to choose the best crocus bulbs for your garden

There’s a wide range of crocus bulbs from which to choose, but ordering a professionally curated collection like Crocus ‘Bicolour Mix’ is an easy option. Containing three unusual varieties with a beautifully co-ordinated two-tone theme, each flower is also a star in its own right. The mix includes: 

• Crocus ‘Vanguard’ – These silvery-mauve goblet-shaped petals open to reveal deeper purple inside. Reaching a full height of 10cm, they flower from early February and, if left undisturbed in a lawn, eventually spread into a gorgeous carpet of colour. 
• Crocus ‘Skyline’ – The delicate, violet-veined petals of this bloom burst open to reveal an eye-catching orange stamen. Producing several flowers from each corm, this gorgeous flower might be small in stature, but it packs a powerful punch in spring displays.
• Crocus ‘Pickwick’ – Another vigorous and hardy Dutch variety, the purple and white petals of this goblet-shaped bloom look especially good against a frost-tipped lawn. Opening to reveal a golden stamen, they’re a magnet for bumblebees and other pollinators. 

One of the most special of all the spring bulbs, crocuses fill your late winter garden with bright swathes of joyful colour at a time when it’s needed most. Simply bury the corms in a hole that’s three times as deep as their own size, and make sure the pointed tip is facing up. Find more advice on when to plant spring bulbs here.
