I bought this as a birthday present for my sister in law and she was thrilled to receive it. I have one already and she has coveted it for several years! The plant was larger than expected and very healthy. It was beautifully wrapped, arrived promptly and the instructions were clear. Its still doing well nine months later, having been out in the garden all winter with some protection. I will definitely be using 'Crocus' again, as the customer service is excellent and the plant of high quality. Thank you!

Hello there Usually these plants are propagated by semi hardwood cuttings but I believe you can grow them from seed, but it is not easy, and can take a long time for them to germinate.

Hello, Yes, it is possible to grow this in a really large pot filled with ericaceous compost, provided it is kept well fed and watered.

Hello, Keeping this in a pot would indeed restrict its growth and ultimately it would be happier planted in the ground, however that's not to say that you cannot enjoy it (and its flowers) in a large pot filled with ericaceous compost for several years.

Hello, These plants are happiest in either a sunny or partially shaded position with shelter from cold winds. The soil should be fertile, moist but well-drained, with lots of organic matter and an acidic pH. They require little pruning, apart from removal of dead wood in late spring.
