Crocus 'Sunkist'

How to grow Crocus 'Sunkist' in NZ

Crocus 'Sunkist' grows best in full sun to light shade in well drained soil. It performs well in many parts of New Zealand where drainage is good, particularly in areas with cool winters. Plant bulbs in autumn at a depth of around 8 to 10 centimetres. Avoid heavy waterlogged soils, as excess moisture can cause bulbs to rot.

Crocus 'Sunkist' care tips

Crocus 'Sunkist' is low maintenance and easy to grow. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season. Apply a light dressing of bulb fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth. Avoid cutting leaves too early. Bulbs can be left in the ground to naturalise and multiply over time.

Crocus 'Sunkist' size, spacing, and growth rate

Crocus 'Sunkist' typically grows to around 10 to 15 centimetres tall and spreads gradually as bulbs multiply. Growth is seasonal, with flowers appearing in late winter to early spring. When planting, space bulbs approximately 5 to 8 centimetres apart for a dense and colourful display. Over time they will form attractive clumps.
