I don't have any experience with the species but I recommend you try! Use a paint brush, q-tip or anything else to pollinate it. Do it as many times as you can to increase chances of selfing. Good luck!

Quote from: janemcgary on April 25, 2024, 05:24:58 PMWhen I started my bulb collection around 1990, I bought and grew from seed many species of Crocus at my home near Portland, Oregon. I've lost a lot of them over the years (especially to field mice) and have tried to bring in replacements and new species as often as possible. I can't import corms any more, but I have new seedlings most years and keep them carefully. Mark Akimoff's Illahe Nursery in Oregon is growing many different Crocus species, including some from my collection. Sadly, little seed is now being collected and offered for sale, but perhaps importation of corms from Europe will occur soon.

I read about you in the bulb garden newsletter! I got a letter with some articles from the pbs yesterday! Great articles!

Sorry! My location is Los Angeles California!

Hi guys!

I'm new to this forum. Only got an account a little while ago. But I have a question. Does anyone here grow any other species of crocus that's not sativus? Does anyone have any experience with them? And do you guys know of anyone who sells or donates them?
