· Crocus flowers grow from corms that produce offsets that can be divided to give you new plants. Learn how to propagate these offsets now. · So, what are crocusoffsets? Crocusoffsets are new bulbs that form around the original bulb. The mother bulb creates offsets from buds within the base. Crocus bulbs also develop tiny seed bulbs, called bulbils, which develop underground. Crocus bulbs will produce smaller flowers if they are crowded and should be divided every five years. · These offsets develop over time and eventually result in new crocus plants. Additionally, in certain favorable conditions, crocus can also reproduce through self-sowing their seeds, further increasing their population. Crocus bulbs must be dug up for division when they have gone dormant after the first frost in the fall. When you dig up crocus bulbs for propagation, be sure to dig far enough out so that you do not cut into the bulbs, and deep enough so that you can gently lift them out of the ground. · Crocuses, unlike many other flowering plants, don’t rely on seeds for propagation. Instead, they utilize a fascinating method involving underground structures called corms. · Division is straightforward: find the offsets, ensure they're robust, and you're good to go. Seed propagation is more of a waiting game, nurturing each seed into a sprout and beyond. · Like all bulb plants, crocus require a period of cold temperatures before they can grow and bloom. They self-propagate easily, though you can manually separate them to spread them to a new location. · These offsets develop over time and eventually result in new crocus plants.
