Crocus 'Snow Bunting'

How to grow Crocus 'Snow Bunting' in NZ

Crocus 'Snow Bunting' grows best in a sunny or lightly shaded position with free draining soil. Plant the bulbs during autumn so they establish roots before winter. Place bulbs about 7 to 10 cm deep with the pointed end facing up. These hardy bulbs perform well across most regions of New Zealand and tolerate cool winter conditions. Once planted they require little attention and will return each spring with fresh blooms when grown in a suitable position.

Crocus 'Snow Bunting' care tips

Crocus 'Snow Bunting' requires minimal care once established. Water lightly after planting and during extended dry periods, but avoid overly wet soil as bulbs prefer well drained conditions. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb stores energy for the following season. A light application of bulb fertiliser in early spring will encourage strong flowering. Crocus 'Snow Bunting' can remain in the ground for many years and often multiplies to form larger clumps.
