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.

On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.

This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive hessian sack, with ribbon and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.

Care Tips

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