To plant Crocus speciosus bulbs, select a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Plant the bulbs in late summer to early autumn, approximately 5-8 cm deep and 5-10 cm apart, ensuring the pointed end faces upwards. Water well after planting and maintain moderate moisture in the soil during the growing season. These hardy bulbs require minimal maintenance once established, thriving with little attention. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering to support bulb growth and ensure a vibrant display year after year.
