Re: Re: in bloom (or not)

Pam,
Something I came across while researching summer bulbs was that rodents like
Crocosmias a lot.  It was suggested to start them in a pot and plant them
after the shoots emerge - that the rodents wouldn't bother them after that.
Perhaps the same could be done for Crocus?
