Species Crocus Tricolor (sieberi) offers so much charm in a smaller package! Growing 4-6" tall, its cup-shaped flowers have bright orange-yellow bases with soft violet-blue petals clearly divided by wide white bands. They're truly delightful when they open in late winter to early spring. These hardy flowers are a wonderful complement to Giant Crocus. Species crocus are easy to fit in many settings including rock gardens, containers, borders, lawns and under deciduous trees. Crocus bulbs multiply rapidly, so you'll enjoy more blooms every year. For the best effect, plant crocus bulbs in groups of 10 or more.
