Solving Colchicum Problems
Prevent this by laying down a mulch layer over the corms right after the ground freezes in the fall. Moles tunnel through beds in search of earthworms and insects, but mice also use their tunnels to get at the corms.

Solving Gladiola Problems
Bulb mites are about 1/50 inch long, barely visible to the unaided eye. They attack below ground on gladiolus corms which become hard and light chocolate-brown colored. The dried corm pulp breaks up into corky fragments, on which hundreds of mites feed.

Problems of Crocus
During the winter months, squirrels and small rodents such as mice and voles eat corms. Or, try planting individual corms in tin can "sleeves" cut open at both ends and sunk into the soil so that the top rim is just covered.

Caring For Colchicum
It is important to allow the leaves that appear in the spring to age and die naturally so that the corm can acquire and store energy through them for blooming in the fall.

Crocus (Crocus vernus)
Common crocus is the best known and most widely grown of the many types of crocuses. If they are planted in the lawn, be prepared to leave the area unmown until the crocus foliage has died.
