Crocus bulbs are usually the very first of fall-planted flowers to appear as spring arrives. You can even see the purple petals reaching up through snow in some areas. If you want to branch out from the more common purple color, try this Rainbow Mix. Its blooms range from pale blue to light lavender, deep purple and bright yellow. A perennial that returns each year, crocus flowers are hardy, drought tolerant and easy to grow.

    Customer photo review of Crocus Bulbs - Rainbow Mix

    I am in zone 5a, I purchased and received in September of 2025 and planted them right away in a thin strip along a ramp with rather rocky (pebbles) soil. I wish I would have purchased more bulbs for a fuller effect but so far the little cuties are popping up very nicely. Hoping to experience the full rainbow color effect!

    Customer photo review of Crocus Bulbs - Rainbow Mix

    After the serene beauty of brown, silver and black of winter you peek out to your garden to see bulb stems pushing thru the soil. Next thing you see, bright pops of sunny yellow dotting the garden beckoning Springs return. The Crocus in its beauty as earned its title and Daffodils and Tulips can’t be too far off. (They open with the sun and close up at dark).
