Dutch Crocus (Crocus x 'Mixed Colors') - Description

Individual blooms are charming and numerous. Plant in large numbers for a stunning carpet of color. Snow Crocus is the earliest crocus to flower, even through a late snow! They offer colors not seen in the larger crocus. They also flower more profusely, producing many flowers from each bulb. Plant Snow Crocus in the perennial garden to liven bare spots in earliest spring. Intermix them with Large Flowering Crocus for a long season of color. They naturalize well under trees and are excellent in rock gardens. Plant in clusters of no less than 25 to 50.
