Crocus blooming first year?

I was told by someone that crocus' planted in fall wont bloom that first early winter/spring. I couldnt find any info on the internet. So do crocus' bloom the first year after planting them?

Thanks,
Danielle

Yes, regular Crocus and snow Crocus will flower the first late Winter and early Spring

They've always bloomed for me the first year- I've planted lots, LOL.

Maybe they were talking about Fall blooming crocus? I have planted the Saffron ones and they only send up foliage the first fall, then bloom the next. All other spring blooming crocus have always bloomed the spring immediately after planting in fall.

Anybody have zonatus and specious fall blooming crocus bloom the first fall? I just put some in a few weeks ago. Thanks Meredith for the info on the Saffrons. I put some of those in too.

I think I prefer the autumn crocus - they are such a welcome spalsh of colour.

Luvly.
