I Want To Fill Gaps In My Crocus Patch And Plant New Coms Now While I Can See The Spaces Between Flowering Plants. Is This Ok?

Question

I am not expecting the new corms to flower before next Spring, but will early planting be bad?

Answer 1

You may have trouble finding them for sale right now. They will probably be all mixed up when it comes to bloom time. You may get some blooms this summer if they get enough chill time after they are planted. If they don't bloom this summer, they should bloom next year.

Just be sure when planting, you don't disturb the roots of the already planted corms. Here is more:
