Giant Crocus Golden Yellow (C. vernus)

Brilliant yellow flowers add plenty of cheer to containers, naturalized areas and gardens when they open in early spring. Growing 3-6" tall, Giant Crocus Golden Yellow (C. vernus) is a charming sight when planted in groups of a dozen or more. The cheery color also complements blue, white and purple giant crocus. For an impressive look, plant giant crocus bulbs in groups of hundreds and thousands for naturalizing in the grass, woodlands, slopes and under trees. Crocus bulbs multiply rapidly, so you'll enjoy more blooms every year.
