Planting and growing information

'Jeanne d'Arc' crocuses thrive in USDA hardiness zones 4-8, adapting well to various climate conditions across the United States. Plant corms 3 inches deep and 3-4 inches apart in well-drained soil during fall, at least one month before ground freeze. They perform beautifully in full sun to partial shade locations and require regular watering to maintain moist but not waterlogged soil. Apply a balanced fertilizer annually to support robust growth and prolific flowering in early spring.
