Manitoba Notes
In Manitoba’s Zone 3–4 climate, plant in well-drained soil before the ground freezes to ensure good root development. A light mulch layer helps protect the bulbs over winter but remove it early in spring so shoots can emerge quickly. These hardy crocuses often bloom even while snow lingers, adding vibrant color to the cold prairie spring.
