A planting of this one alone can be a real stunning display, or you can simply add these to you mixture to have more of the favorite.

      I planted these along the edges & around shrubs & perenerials. They were the first to come up after a below zero month of temperature. A beautiful sight to see. Big blooms that lasted.

              Comments about American Meadows Dutch Crocus Bulbs Pickwick:

              I bought these totally on impulse because they were on sale. Can't resist a sale, can I? With no plan, I then had no idea where to plant them. I just stuck them in around my front border here and there, gathered in groups of three or four. Why, oh, why didn't I buy more?! I love love love these little guys! The purple stripes on the shimmery white are so pretty. What a way to welcome spring! I haven't actually counted to be sure they all came up, but they seem to be everywhere.

              Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                These looked hardy when I got them; but none of them came up. Maybe it was too cold in Chicago.
