Crocus Dutch Yellow

Crocus Dutch Yellow, probably the most frequently planted of any crocus.

When left to itself in sunny places, it slowly forms masses of burning colour against the dark earth and last year's withered leaves. If flowers at same time as the other large crocuses but has a more compact built.

It looks especially fine set in rough grass on a sunny bank but almost any open site will do. Light shade serves them too and they are equally at home beneath high-branched deciduous trees and shrubs. It does not make seed but increases from offsets. Height 10cm.

Suggestion: plant with a groundwork of blue Chionodoxa for a stunning early spring picture: gold and azure blue side by side.
