Each corm produces one to five blooms, which may be yellow, white, purple, lavender, or bicolored, depending on the cultivar. Flowers appear in late winter or early spring for spring-blooming crocuses. The flowers range from cup to goblet shaped.

Crocus (Crocus sieberi 'Firefly') - Growth

Clump-forming dwarf perennials. Grassy leaves appear just after or with flowers. Most grow best in full sun or partial shade. Works well in rock gardens or borders.
