In spring, crocuses bloom in the front garden - bright primroses.

It is not difficult to grow them if you know the subtleties of the autumn planting of crocuses.

Choosing planting material

When growing crocuses, it is very important to choose the right planting material, the further development and flowering of the plant depends on its quality. When choosing bulbs, you need to take into account that there are autumn-flowering varieties, the planting of which differs in timing. Spring primroses are planted in autumn.

1. When choosing bulbs, carefully inspect them. Healthy planting material has no signs of damage, overgrown roots or damage.

2. A good bulb should feel firm to the touch, with no soft spots.

3. You should also pay attention to the scales. Good quality bulbs are dry.

4. Do not buy seed if there are signs of rotting of the bottom of the bulb.

Preparing crocus bulbs for autumn planting + photo

Before placing the bulbs in the wells, they must be processed and disinfected. This will protect the landing from damage. To prevent diseases and rot, the bulbs are pickled in a solution of potassium permanganate. Fungicides are also used for this purpose. Good results are obtained by treatment with Fundazol, the drug "Skor", "Vitaros". The working solution is prepared based on 1 liter of water about 2 ml of the drug. The resulting solution is enough to process up to 1 kg of crocus bulbs.

Planting material is lowered into the prepared solution for disinfection and left for half an hour. After that, start planting the bulbs. It is impossible to wash the processed bulbs.

Important! You can process the seed material in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Bulbs stand for about 30 minutes.

Choosing a place for a flower bed

Autumn planting of crocuses begins with the choice of location. It should be borne in mind that crocuses prefer sunny places, without stagnant moisture, the excess of which leads to various diseases. They need light to thrive. In the shade of trees, the buds may not bloom.

The soil on the site should be loose and nutritious. Heavy soils are not suitable for growing spring primroses. River sand will help improve the condition of the soil. It is brought in for digging, which makes the earth looser. If the soil is not too nutritious, then it is advisable to add preparations of potassium, phosphorus and mature compost. Fertilizers containing nitrogen are not used when growing crocuses.

When choosing a place for autumn planting of crocuses, give preference to quiet corners of the garden, where there are no drafts and cold winds. Strong gusts of wind can break fragile plants.

Let's start planting bulbs

How to plant bulbs correctly? Experienced gardeners advise planting bulbous plants in special baskets. They will protect crocuses from rodents and make it easier to dig up plants.

Growing crocuses without baskets, the bulbs are placed on the bed, leaving a distance of about 5-7 cm between them. A flowering carpet of bulbous plants looks very good. To do this, the bulbs are planted tightly, at a distance of 3-5 cm.

The depth for autumn planting of crocuses depends on the size of the bulb. Larger ones are planted to a depth of 10-15 cm, and small ones - 5-8 cm. How to determine the depth of planting material? The optimal depth is considered to be equal to the height of the bulb multiplied by 3.

Crocuses are frost-resistant plants, but in regions with a harsh climate, it is better to mulch the bed with spruce branches or dry foliage. In the spring, all mulching material is removed, the planting site is carefully loosened, trying not to damage the root system of plants.

Care of crocuses after flowering

Crocuses need annual digging. After flowering, which ends in July, it is necessary to cut off the entire aerial part of the plant. Soon they start digging up the bulbs. They are carefully removed from the ground with a pitchfork, trying not to damage them. Next, the bulbs are washed, sorted and sorted. After drying and airing, which lasts about 7 days, the planting material is stored for storage.

Crocus bulbs should be stored with a gradual decrease in temperature. At the first stage, the bulbs are lowered into the cellar, where they are laid out in one layer. After a few weeks, the planting material is placed in the lower section of the refrigerator, where it is stored until planting. The optimal time for planting bulbs is mid-September - early October.

How to forcing crocuses

Experienced gardeners grow crocuses in pots. In this case, a flowering plant can be obtained by a certain date. But for this, the forcing of crocuses must take place according to all the rules.

1. From the moment of planting to flowering, it takes from 3 to 3.5 months or 15 weeks. This must be taken into account when forcing crocuses for the holidays. To obtain a flowering specimen for the New Year, crocus is planted in the fall, namely, in mid-September.

2. All bulbs must undergo natural preparation under certain temperature conditions. To do this, the bulbs are purchased in the summer and stored at a temperature of 30 degrees for about 7 days. Further, the planting material is lowered into the cellar, where it is stored until mid-August. Further storage of the bulbs takes place in the refrigerator, at a temperature of 5-7 degrees.

3. Crocuses are planted in a prepared container.

4. Bulbs are placed very close to each other, not like in a garden. The fact is that the plant in such conditions does not grow and does not give children.

5. River sand is used as a substrate for forcing crocuses. Provide good drainage at the bottom of each container.

Forcing crocuses is a very simple task, knowing all the rules, even a novice gardener can handle it.

Difficulties in growing crocuses

Often beginners complain that growing crocuses does not bring results, and the plants do not bloom. Why is this happening?

The lack of flowering indicates improper care.

The bulbs were dug out ahead of time, which disrupted the natural cycle of development.

The aerial part was cut too early, the leaves are removed after they have completely dried.

The temperature regime for storing bulbs is violated. First, planting material is stored at a high temperature, gradually reducing it. The last stage of storage takes place at very low temperatures.

The absence of flowering indicates that the garden bed has been reborn. Crocuses need rejuvenation plantings once every three years. If all this time they were grown without digging, then it's time to plant crocuses.

On the bulbs damaged by rodents, the buds are not tied. Planting in special baskets for bulbous plants will secure crocuses.

Some varieties of crocuses bloom in autumn, so when purchasing bulbs, be sure to ask what variety they are.

Despite the small size of crocuses, flower growers love them very much. After all, they are quite undemanding and easy to care for. In addition, planting of crocuses is carried out in the fall, which allows you to admire the blooming flower bed in the spring. Having become acquainted with all the intricacies of growing bulbs, it will pass without much effort.

In early spring, as soon as the snow melted, in the flowerbeds of many gardeners you can see delicate yellow, white or purple flowers. These are crocuses, of which there are more than 80 species in nature, especially rare ones are even listed in the Red Book. Wild crocuses grow in the Caucasus and Crimea, often found on the slopes of the Alps.

There are both spring and autumn varieties of these flowers. Crocuses look very impressive when planted tightly in a flower bed or alpine hill. These flowers are perfect for forcing to certain festive dates.

Rules for growing crocuses in a flower bed

How to grow crocuses indoors

Crocuses blooming in pots on the windowsill will help to feel the approach of spring, when the winter blizzard is still sweeping outside the windows. Growing these delicate flowers for the holiday is quite simple if you know a few secrets.

• For forcing flowers by a certain date, you must remember that the whole process takes about 15 weeks. In accordance with this, the timing of planting tubers in pots is also calculated.
• When storing bulbs until planting, the temperature must be lowered every two weeks, which should eventually drop to +9 °C.
• The planting container should be equipped with a large drainage layer, and it is better to use coarse-grained sand as soil. Additional feeding during forcing is not carried out, the tuber itself provides itself with the nutrients accumulated earlier.
• When planting, the bulbs are placed as densely as possible, since additional space for the formation of children in this case is not required, and the bouquet will look more magnificent and spectacular.
• Pots with tubers should spend in a cool and dark room for about 2 months. Then they are put in a warm, lit place and after a couple of weeks they get wonderful flowers.

Spring has come, the snow has melted. Gardeners are waiting for the first greenery. Perhaps, none of the passers-by will be able to remain indifferent, noticing small colored snowdrops in the form of crocuses in a flower bed. How crocuses are planted in autumn in the ground for spring flowering and in summer for autumn colors, we will now tell. We will also discuss the timing of planting in different regions of Russia and the level of seed penetration on different soils.

What grower doesn't dream of a constantly blooming garden from early spring to late autumn? What kind of crops does he not plant his garden for aesthetic diversity. Therefore, he prefers to plant crocuses not only as a harbinger of warmth in spring, but also as the last colors of autumn on the eve of winter.

This flower from the iris family has about 300 varieties. In another way, this plant is referred to as saffron. But this is not the saffron from which an expensive seasoning is made. Although some use yellow stamens as a seasoning on their table. Having a short, approximately 10-day flowering period and a short pedicel, this culture is divided into two main types:

1. spring crocuses;
2. autumn crocuses.

Distinctive characteristics of colors are:

• frost resistance, fearlessness to temperature extremes and climatic changes;
• fleeting growth of bulbous children;
• unpretentiousness of the plant.

Varietal differences

As you guessed, before you start planting crocuses, you need to find out which group your variety belongs to. First, let's talk about spring-flowering species suitable for central Russia: Spring crocuses are planted in the fall so that the bulbs germinate and are saturated with useful substances. Here is a list of autumn-flowering babies that are most suitable for growing in the Moscow region and the Leningrad region: The list is small, because in our area gardeners have enough other troubles in the summer. And the autumn-flowering culture requires an early summer planting.

We determine the landing time

Planting crocuses in the fall in the ground has its own characteristics in terms of timing. After all, autumn in different regions of Russia takes place in different ways, and is also divided into early and late, rainy and dry. For a basis, let's take the fact that the culture can withstand frosts down to -5 degrees. Thanks to essential oils and waxy leaves protected from the cold, this plant loves coolness, so early autumn is not suitable for sowing corms. In the Moscow region, the most suitable month for planting is October. If October turned out to be warm, then we plant at the end of the month. Sometimes climate change pushes for planting in November, because in the heat the corm is at rest and does not develop. For us, it is important to develop nodules in the ground for survival and regrowth of roots.

In the Leningrad region, the autumn planting period can be shifted to the end of September, the beginning of October. The climate there is a little colder and a lot of humidity. Soil temperature will tell you when to plant crocuses in autumn in the Urals. If it has cooled to +10 degrees, then the landing time has come. This usually happens no later than September. Siberia is distinguished by the severity of winters, so already in August you can start planting crocuses. We will focus on the end of August, the beginning of September and measure the temperature of the earth. This climate requires mulching with a thick layer of the seat, as well as in the Urals.

Choosing bulbs and a seat

After you have decided on the choice of variety and the approximate time of planting, pay attention to the condition of the planting material. What distinguishes quality bulbs:

1. there should be no regrown roots;
2. no mechanical damage should be observed;
3. the corm should have a dense texture without soft gaps;
4. surface scales are not wet, integral, cover the entire tuber;
5. at the slightest hint of decay, either refuses to buy or discards damaged nodules in order to avoid the spread of infection;

Please note that onions should be stored in paper bags (not polyethylene). After buying, do not put them in the refrigerator before planting, otherwise, sensing heat, they will begin to actively germinate. The cold storage mode signals the approach of spring and activation. It is necessary to plant crocuses on sunny lawns or along the edges of flower beds, where there is always enough light and there is no shading from other crops. Some manage to grow them on the windowsill.

However, home heat does not contribute to the development of buds, because they have flowering in a cool climate. It is best to plant bulbs in sandy, light soils containing organic matter in the form of compost or rotted manure. Someone prefers to cut off the top layer of turf on the lawn, and plant bulbs on the opened area. But this method is not suitable for everyone, and beginners can use it as a trial. Do not plant a plant in the place of accumulation of snow or under snowdrifts.

Note! "Planting material does not tolerate high humidity or fluid stagnation."

If the place for crocuses is oversaturated with water, then it should be drained. You can apply drainage, or you can do plant transplantation on the slope of a flower bed, lawn or alpine hill, where moisture quickly seeps out and leaves.

The composition of the soil plays an important role in the life of crocuses. For example, nitrogen is contraindicated for them, and phosphorus and potassium will create a good basis for growth and flowering. If the soil is heavy and clayey, then it needs to be lightened with sand. To do this, 10/12 days before planting, we dig up the landing site for 1 bayonet of an ordinary shovel, gradually adding sand. To plant crocuses, heavy soil is drained. In this case, mineral additives are not added.

Landing process step by step

Those who first started practicing snowdrop cultivation face such difficulty that they cannot wait for flowering for a long time. One of the reasons may be the untimely transplantation of bulbs during flowering. This approach knocks the plant out of the rut. Let's describe the landing in stages:

1. after digging with the introduction of potash and phosphorus additives, we break up the lumps and loosen the soil;
2. we make grooves with a pointed ripper with an intermediate distance of 6 cm. Or we place the planting material in a checkerboard pattern, as you like. Since the bulbs quickly become overgrown with children and form thickening, the optimal distance of 6 cm will allow you not to plant nests for three to five years;
3. we visit the corms in the soil with the root bottom down, the sharp part up;
4. the depth of location depends on the composition of the earth and the diameter of the bulbs. The larger the bulb, the deeper the planting. In light soil, they are deepened by 10 cm, in heavy soil by 8 cm. When planting children, the distance decreases to 4 cm in sandy loam and 3 cm in loam. To make it more convenient to dig out overgrown nests, plastic nets are used in the form of containers and deepen them into the ground;
5. we fall asleep with a nutrient mixture or fertilized soil mixed with rotted manure;
6. pour water if the autumn turned out to be dry;
7. capricious, frost-sensitive varieties can be secured by mulching them with spruce branches or peat.

Expert advice! “Since the snowdrop bloom period is short, you can extend the landscape bloom a bit by applying two tricks. You can plant different types of crocuses in a checkerboard pattern. Then they will bloom at different times. Another way is to arrange landings at different depths. Those that are planted deeper will bloom later.”

Reproduction of planting material and forcing

When the flowering season ends, crocuses begin to grow. How does this happen? Between the upper layers of the husk, the so-called buds are born, which later become daughter onions. When the main bulb dies, the babies begin to grow and form a bulbous nest. This process lasts 4-5 years.

Therefore, for 4-5 years, they dig the place of growth of crocuses for further reproduction. If snowdrops were planted in containers, they are easily removed from the ground. Nests are divided by hand and sorted by size. Large ones are planted for flowering in a flower bed. Small ones in a separate place are gaining strength.

What is extrusion for?

Someone wants to speed up the appearance of buds for an upcoming event and for this purpose makes a forcing. How does this happen?

1. Only large and healthy onions are selected.
2. In mid-September, they are placed in a container or pot that is slightly moistened. They are located close to each other.
3. The pot is covered with polyethylene with small holes or spunbond for airtightness.
4. We take the pot or container to the underground or cellar.
5. After the appearance of sprouts (December, January), we set up plantings where the temperature varies within +15 degrees. We put in partial shade or cover with a newspaper, while watering the nodules with water.
6. With the advent of buds, we bring our distillation into the house and observe beautiful flowering without snow melting.

Complementary care and disease prevention

As mentioned earlier, planting and caring for bulbs is directly related to digging once every 4–5 years. After all, each corm gives life to 10 more children. Then she is reborn and dies. Although crocuses are unpretentious and disease resistant, sometimes incidents happen to them. During storage, they can be affected by rot or other fungal disease. Therefore, nodules are disinfected before planting in June or October. A weak solution of potassium permanganate or the drug "Maxim - summer resident", "Maxim - M" is diluted, and the planting material is soaked in it for about 30 minutes. This is followed by drying and planting in the ground.

Note! "Planting spring crocuses is accompanied by top dressing at different stages of plant development."

The first feeding goes in the phase of the appearance of the first sprouts. It contains potassium and phosphorus in the doses indicated in the instructions. The second top dressing with potassium phosphorus fertilizer is done during budding. The third top dressing with the same composition is carried out after flowering.

There is something mysterious and touching in the picture, which can be observed with the arrival of spring, when primroses stretch their fragile stems with delicate buds straight from under the snow towards the sun. It causes delight, surprise and a storm of positive emotions, which is why crocuses are so loved by gardeners: planting and caring for them does not take much effort and does not require special costs, and the result is inspiring. Popular and cultivation of these bulbous flowers at home.

Soil and site requirements

For planting crocuses in the garden, it is advisable to choose an open area that warms up well and is illuminated by the sun. But their cultivation in open ground will be successful in the shade of deciduous trees. In early spring, when the time comes for crocuses to bloom, their branches are not yet covered with dense foliage and do not obscure the light they need from the plants. In heavily shaded places: under coniferous trees, near the walls of various buildings, the development of perennials slows down. They form fewer buds, which also do not fully bloom. The natural environment for crocuses are meadows, where perennial grasses are found in abundance in their neighborhood. This makes it possible to plant them on the site next to ornamental plants of medium height: peonies, ivy.

Primrose bulbs are demanding on the level of soil moisture. So that growing crocuses does not end with their rapid decay and death, it is important to choose a dry, well-drained site for them. You can determine a suitable place for flowers by meeting 2 requirements:

• moisture does not stagnate on it after melting snow or rain;
• groundwater is located far from the surface of the earth.

Loose soils are ideal for crocuses, providing their bulbs with free access to air and moisture and rich in nutrients. Light loams are well suited for them. It is impossible to call a culture demanding in terms of soil quality. Its cultivation is also possible on depleted soil. Some hybrid varieties of crocuses are successfully bred in areas with dense clay soil.

Mandatory conditions for the full development of flowers are a neutral soil reaction and good drainage. If you have to plant plants in acidic soil, lime, dolomite flour, ash, and chalk are first added to it. They will help optimize the content of hydrogen ions in the earth and create favorable conditions for the development of crocuses.

Dense clay soil before placing the bulbs in it must be made more porous by adding coarse-grained river sand, well-rotted compost or fine gravel.

You can enrich the soil for flowers by digging it with organic fertilizers. Suitable for this compost, rotted manure, peat.

Landing Features

Planting crocuses in open ground, depending on their variety, can be carried out in summer or autumn. If the flowering period of a plant falls in the spring, its corms are placed in the soil in September. The depth of the hole depends on the structure of the earth on the site. When planting in loose soil, it is equal to 2 bulb diameters. In a situation where the soil in the garden is dense and heavy, the depth of the hole is made equal to 1 diameter. A drainage layer of gravel, coarse river sand, broken brick, crushed stone or pebbles is laid on its bottom. If the selected crocus variety is afraid of moisture, the beds for it should be made high.

Bulbs should be planted at a distance of at least 7-10 cm from each other. They are carefully inspected beforehand, rejecting damaged and diseased ones. Growing crocuses will require regular transplants, which are carried out every 3-5 years. During this time, many children appear on the bulbs, and the flower bed begins to resemble a lawn completely covered with flowers. Therefore, initially it is better to plant plants at a significant interval. After placing the bulbs in the ground, the beds are watered abundantly.

If a variety of crocuses is chosen for breeding, the flowering period of which falls in autumn, they are planted until mid-summer. Then their tender buds will bloom in September or October. The cultivation of such varieties has its own specifics. It is not recommended to plant them in open ground with collected or already opened buds. Otherwise, the chances of successful survival of the plant are negligible.

If the crocus with buds wilted after being placed in the ground, it is necessary to cut off the withered foliage and flowering stem from it. He will release new ones next year. However, the plant will fully bloom only after 2 years, when its bulb has accumulated enough strength.

Crocus Forcing Secrets

You can also admire the graceful buds of crocuses in winter. They feel comfortable at home, while taking care of them in a pot is not at all difficult. Ideal for forcing Dutch plant varieties with large flowers. Their bulbs are subjected to a thorough inspection, selecting approximately the same size.

For breeding crocuses at home, it is better to use shallow, but wide containers. 5-10 bulbs are planted in them, depending on the size of the pot. The soil is poured into it neutral, light, porous, well-permeable to air and water. Drainage is laid at the bottom of the pot. This element when planting crocuses is required both in the garden and at home.

When the bulbs fade, they do not stop caring for them. They need to be watered and fertilized. For top dressing, complex mineral compositions intended for indoor plants are usually used, dissolving them in water in a smaller proportion than indicated by the manufacturer. They begin to gradually reduce watering at home when yellowness begins to appear on the leaves of the crocus. After they have completely dried out, the bulbs are removed from the pot and the remains of the soil are carefully removed from them. Then, wrapped in a clean napkin, they are placed in a cardboard box, which is placed in a dark and dry place. Bulbs are stored there until the beginning of autumn, and with its arrival, the time comes for their planting in the garden.

Agricultural rules

Caring for crocuses in the open field will not take much time. They practically do not need watering. It will be necessary to moisten the soil in the beds only if there was no snow in winter, and rain in spring. The amount of water received by the bulb only affects the height of the plants; in general, they tolerate drought well. In summer, watering crocuses is even harmful; in the dormant phase, dry soil is preferable for them.

The essential elements of flower care include:

• top dressing;
• regular loosening of the soil;
• weed removal.

During the period of active growth, plants need to be fed. Fresh organic fertilizers are contraindicated for them, their application can provoke various diseases. Feed them only with mineral compounds. Of these, it is better to choose those that contain a lot of phosphorus and potassium and little nitrogen. Its excess in the soil stimulates the active growth of extra leaves on flowers, which can cause them to be affected by fungal diseases. It is especially dangerous in wet weather. It is permissible to use peat or manure to enrich the soil, but only completely rotted.

Two feedings are recommended. The first is carried out in early spring, while the snow has not yet melted, scattering complex fertilizer over it. The second time crocuses are fed when 14-21 days have passed since the beginning of their flowering, using preparations with a minimum nitrogen content. During this period, plants especially need potassium. It helps their bulbs turn into high-quality and healthy planting material. After the foliage on crocuses turns yellow, they are left alone until the end of the season.


Crocuses are wonderful plants that are one of the first, after long dull months filled with snow and cold, to fill the garden with bright colors and give a charge of positive emotions. The very personification of spring, they look spectacular on the alpine hills, giving them a unique charm. It will be impossible to take your eyes off the magnificent living carpet if you plant them in a dense canvas on a flower bed or lawn. And their cultivation in pots at home will allow you to admire the magnificent flowering in winter.

In addition to their high decorative qualities, crocuses are surprisingly unpretentious; even an amateur with no experience in gardening can handle their planting and reproduction. They need minimal care in the form of fertilizing, loosening the soil and weeding. Plant crocuses in your garden and you won't regret your decision for a minute!

Locations and soil for flowers

The corm grows every year and becomes larger. As a result, many so-called children are formed. When it becomes crowded for them, and they are already beginning to interfere with each other, they definitely need to be seated.

This plant belongs to the Iris family. About 80 of its species and more than 300 varieties are known. Crocuses are divided into two large groups:

When planting autumn crocuses, you need to consider that they need to be planted without flowers. Very often, autumn species sold in nurseries or flower shops are already blooming. I can say that they have very little chance of getting accustomed. So it is better to buy them early and plant them without buds. Then in September they will bloom in your flower bed. If, nevertheless, you bought crocuses in bloom, planted them, and they withered in you - do not worry. Cut off dry leaves and the flower itself and leave the plant alone. Next year your crocus will bloom. True, the plant will gain strength only after 2 years. Therefore, it is better not to plant already flowering specimens.

Mouse hyacinths belong to the lily family, they are low plants (no more than 30 cm), most often their inflorescences are white, blue or purple. They are often planted in borders with tulips or daffodils at the forefront, where they contrast beautifully in both color and size. Muscari also look good on alpine slides, planted in groups and perfectly filling the voids on it.

In the middle lane of planting crocuses for the winter, it is better to cover with peat and foliage. You can plant the bulbs in a container (this, by the way, will also protect them from mice), and after flowering, without removing them from the containers, store them in a dark, cool room.

Landing time

​Family

Crocuses are flowers that start blooming very early and do so for a very short time. The flowering period lasts from seven to ten days, after which the crocuses quickly wither. And in mid-June, a dormant period begins, when even the leaves of the plant wither. Flowers can stay in one place for up to five years, but many gardeners often transfer them when updating the design of their garden.

forcing crocuses

Crocuses grow well in any soil, but prefer light loam. If the soil is completely “poor”, then it is advisable to fertilize it before planting. You can put compost or manure in the planting hole (only rotted - fresh is not allowed). In general, crocuses are responsive to fertilizers and will not remain in debt to you. Flowers will please. The only thing that does not suit them is acidic soil.

• Decorative and economic qualities
• When planting plants, some features should be taken into account.
• yew;
• Sow this planting material in small pots or boxes. This will allow small seedlings not to get lost among large ones, and they will also be better protected from weeds. The pot must be covered with a black film and make sure that they do not dry out. If the leaves of the seedlings die off completely, they can be sprayed a little with Roundup. But care is important here so as not to make the soil too wet, as this can provoke rotting of seedlings. Seedlings bloom for about 5 years.
• This plant needs well prepared soil. It is fertilized with compost and manure, in addition, it is well loosened. It is not good for a flower to have an excessive amount of moisture and stagnant water. Therefore, if crocuses are planted in autumn, a little sand must be added to the soil, especially clayey.
• Their flowering period is very short - no more than 10 days.
• You will also need drainage. Sand will come off completely, if there is no sand, then you can pour a little fine gravel on the bottom. By the way, if you have a wetland, then try to plant crocuses in the highest place.
