Description
Common Name: Crocus olivieri subsp. balansae
Very early flowering.
Crocus flowers lead the way for other spring bloomers to follow. They bloom bright and early, bringing much needed colour after a long winter. These small-but-mighty plants with their colourful blooms and sweet fragrance lure hungry bees out of their hives. Crocus plants will multiply and come back year after year, bringing more blooms with them each time
Bulbs require well drained soil. Will not perform well if soil holds too much water. Add sand or grit to the bottom of the hole to improve drainage.
