Do you, like me, want to bring spring forward? If so, this is one of the plants for you, the earliest crocus to flower, stacked with pollen and nectar for hungry bumblebees and a feast for colour-starved eyes as winter comes to an end.

Description

Do you – like me – want to bring spring forward? If so, this is one of the plants for you, the earliest crocus to flower (along with C. tommasinianus), stacked with pollen and nectar for hungry bumblebees and a feast for colour-starved eyes as winter comes to an end.

Care Tips

Can be naturalized easily in grass but wait until the foliage has died down in June to cut the grass.
