Description

A large drift of these crocus alone can be one of the loveliest early spring displays of all. They bloom early, like all the wild crocus, and if you plant them this fall, they'll be there in early spring with their stunningly bright gold and purple blooms.

These are the ones called 'Snow Crocus' for obvious reasons. They bloom well before the Dutch Crocus, so for a long season of crocus bloom, plant them both. They work almost exactly the same. Unlike the Dutch crocus group of hybrids, these are true 'wild bulbs'--species crocus that grow in the wild in Greece and other areas. Add these jewel-toned beauties to your wildflower collection, and you'll enjoy them for years.
