Position: full sun Soil: poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast Flowering period: March to April Hardiness: fully hardy Bulb size: 7/8 Shades of purple, lilac-blue, striped, orange and white make up this lush mix of goblet-shaped flowers that appear in March and April above slender, strap-shaped leaves.

These vigorous, large-flowered Dutch crocuses are perfect for naturalising in the lawn or allowing to meander through the front of a sunny, well-drained site. To achieve a naturalistic effect broadcast small handfuls of bulbs, planting them where they fall. Garden care: Plant bulbs in naturalistic drifts 10cm (4in) deep in September or October.

Where bulbs are planted in grass do not cut the grass until after the leaves have died back.
