Unusual, two-toned Crocus chrysanthus ‘Advance’ features petals in complimentary tones of creamy-yellow with lilac-mauve shading, beautifully ignited by glowing orange stamens.

The pretty, goblet-shaped blooms create a striking effect when grown as a swathe of rich colour running through open grassy areas and a colourful sweep near the front of spring borders. 

A wonderful harbinger of spring, Crocus are often one of the first flowers to bloom during February and March.  These delicate bulbs also make a great addition to pots and containers – plant them as a lower storey to Tulips, Hyacinths and Narcissi.
