I now have Crocus cvijcii outside all year round with C. pelistericus and C. scardicus. It makes far better corms than when kept under glass. I will be doing the same in future for C. veluchensis and C. sieberi.

I grow sieberii also in open ground but i grew the ones from crete under cover because we can have hard frost without snowcover and the cretan species isn't so hardy.

You are right, but I have problems with rodents. They ate thousands of corms grown in open garden. Pots protects perfectly.
