Crocus Speciosus

Crocus Speciosus Charming crocus with a remarkable blue tone – the bluest of all crocus – carrying glowing orange stamens. Of all the autumn crocuses this is the best to grow. Others may be as beautiful but they are not nearly so free-flowering, nor do they multiply so readily.

A crocus in autumn not only pleases the eyes, it touches the heart. It grows in sun or light shade and will even do well in grass provided it is not too coarse. In Amsterdam it blooms for weeks towards the end of October and it is popular with bees. Height 15cm.
