Hard to believe but it’s time to think about next spring. Specifically, crocuses are on my mind, especially those that provide an early burst of color after a dull, gray, long winter. Right now I’m shopping for crocus corms since they should be planted in the next month or so. Crocuses are among the earliest bloomers, pushing cup-shaped flowers through even snow. Most commonly they’re blue, purple, yellow and white and they look best planted in wide swaths. You should have no problem developing a wide swath after a few years since apparently they reproduce steadily underground. Corms, if you’re curious, look a lot like bulbs but aren’t.
