These plants are bulbeous. The Crocus minimus has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. This plant in the spring assumes a purple colouring; it is small in size and can reach 15 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.
Exposure Crocus minimus
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. During this time of year we shouldn't worry about minimum temperatures, in fact the The Crocus minimus can bear temperatures a few degrees below zero.If you desire cleaning the ground from the bulbous plants after flowering, wait for the leaves to dry; later it’s possible to take the bulbs out of the ground and place them somewhere dark, cool and dry, until the best season to plant them again.
Watering Crocus minimus
Let’s avoid watering the The Crocus minimus excessively, always leaving the soil dry for a few days between one watering and the other, therefore let’s irrigate the substratum deeply every 1-2 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water . We suggest not to exceed with the waterings: if the soil remains damp too long, it can favour the development of rotten in the bulbs.
Treatments Crocus minimus
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.
Soil Crocus minimus
Let’s favour soft soils, with an elevated drainage.
