do i leave crocus bulbs in ground or dig up?
 

Here in the UK the crocus bulbs I put in the Autumn for the first time
are coming to the end of their flowering.

My question is should I leave them in the ground to come up next year,
or am I better off digging them up and then replanting them in the
autumn?

Thanks

As long as the foliage is green it is producing food for next year's bloom.
Leave it until it starts to yellow then (if it isn't hidden by other plants
growth by then) you can trim it down

Leave in ground. If they keep spawning more bulbs/plants, you might
want to dig and divide in a few years.

If the tops are still green thay are making food to be stored in the
bulb, do not cut.
