How to grow winter bulbs?

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

I'm a complete beginner. I just received some Crocus or Blue Pearl seeds, they look like little onions the width of a coin and was told to sow them in Autumn.

So far I've only grown indoor plants and never winter flowers, and I'm having a hard time finding good info so I need some advice, especially on temperatures.

So far I've started all my seeds by planting them in standard potting soil over some pebbles for drainage by plastic wrapping the (plastic) pot to act as a sort of greenhouse and keep moisture. I'm assuming this would be detrimental to these seeds? Should I be keeping them outdoors for the low temperatures? I'm not quite sure how long I should wait between waterings either, how long I should expect for it to take before they sprout, or much else honestly!

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Experiences from growing winter bulbs also welcome. Thanks a lot!

edit: my zone is probably equivalent to US zone 7 or 6, I am located in Norway
