Crocus Flower Record

Crocus Flower Record Large shiny purple goblets in early spring.

Like all the giant Dutch crocus, the flower opens wide in the sun to show off its striking orange anthers. A good grower, hardy and enduring with each corm sending up from 2-3 flowers the first spring.  
    
In the wild this is a bulb of Alpine meadows and it happily grows in grass. Fine for edging flower borders, in the lee of shrubs, among ground-covers or in pots close to the house. Naturalizes well in both mild and cold winter regions. Height.10cm.

Suggestion: grow with dwarf Narcissus Têtê-à-Têtê , the colours work well together and both bulbs require the same conditions. Mingle with early red-and-yellow Tulip Stresa for a classic early-spring combination.
