Snowy-white cups with deep violet blotches on their outer petals unfold during February and March, marking the beginning of spring on Crocus chrysanthus ‘Prins Claus’.

This unusual and eye-catching Crocus is excellent for planting amongst grassy areas, to bloom in ribbons or swathes in the open, or beneath a mature tree.  Deep golden stamens inside the goblet-shaped flowers attract bees and hoverflies – these precious blooms are an important source of early nectar for pollinators.

Bulbs will multiply readily below ground, creating a warm and welcoming display year after year.  Plant alone or amongst other colourful Crocus and Snowdrops for a vibrant show.
