    There are crocus varieties that come up in fall. If you don't have one of these varieties, it could be caused by planting the bulbs too shallowly or by unusual weather. See this article for help:

    Planting of your Crocus corms should take place approx 6 to 8 weeks before your first frost and when the ground temperatures are below 60 degrees.
    Crocus should be planted 3 to 4 inches deep.

    There is little to be done with the plants at this point.

    Here is a link with more information.

    Crocus flowers are relatively short lived- for most species, they will be open for about 10 days to 2 week.

    Crocus sativus generally is grown in zones 6-9, but some gardeners have succeeded in growing them in zone 5. Site selection is important- this plant needs very well-drained soil, preferably sandy, and it will do better in a sunny, dry site. If you can provide these conditions, it will have a good chance to survive and flower.

    Fall planting, before the first frost is proper planting time for your Crocus.

    I would recommend shopping at local garden centers or greenhouses for regional bulbs.
    You can also make sure you provide extra mulch over the bulbs to insulate from the cold.
