Growing Crocus Prins Claus Successfully in NZ

Plant Crocus 'Prins Claus' bulbs in autumn in well-drained soil and full sun. They naturalise well in NZ climates, providing early spring colour. The soil should be enriched with organic matter for best results, and planting near other spring bulbs can enhance garden aesthetics and support pollinators early in the season.

Crocus Prins Claus Care Tips

Avoid waterlogged soil; mulch to retain moisture. Minimal maintenance is needed after establishment; prune dead foliage once dormant. Applying a balanced fertiliser after flowering helps the bulbs store energy for the following year. Watch for slug and snail activity, common pests that can damage young shoots.

Plant Size and Spacing

Typically 10-15 cm tall. Plant bulbs 7-10 cm apart to create colourful clusters or borders. If naturalising in lawns, regular mowing height should be kept high to avoid damage to emerging shoots in early spring.
