Pure white, long-lasting flowers open wide like petite waterlilies during March on delicate Crocus ‘Ard Schenk’.

Named after a famous speed skater from the Netherlands, these icy beauties are a wonderful welcome to spring when they flower as a ribbon of white through the border and naturalised in grassy areas.

The petals feature deep purple streaks on the outside and a glowing yellow throat.  Rich golden stamens are held inside each cup, attracting pollinators from far and wide.

Can also be grown in containers and make a great addition to mixed spring pots as one of the first varieties to bloom.
