Spring Flowering Crocus Chrys. Romance
C2128
Description
Pretty spring cups are creamy-yellow flushed apricot, with golden centres on Crocus chrysanthus ‘Romance’.
Inside each dainty flower is a cluster of powdery, sunshine yellow anthers – adored by bees and their pollinator friends who flock to feast on the nectar on bright days.
This delicate yellow Crocus looks best when planted in pretty clusters, dotted through grass, rockeries, and borders to herald the beginning of spring in February and March.
Bulbs will naturalise easily and multiply below ground, creating a warm and welcoming display year after year without fail. Plant alone or amongst other colourful Crocus for a vibrant spring show.
Care Guide
Corms should be planted about 8cm (3”) deep in any good fertile garden soil. The winter and spring-flowering species are well suited to the rock garden or the front of borders, and the later Dutch varieties for groups, edging borders or naturalising.
For the best results, plant 8-10cm (3-4”) deep, 5cm (2”) apart, and leave undisturbed. Croci are suitable for a pot or bowl culture, with the exception of large-flowered Yellow Crocus, and may also be grown in pebbles and water. It is important to remember that they must not be forced too hard, as too much heat or dryness in the atmosphere will lead to excess of leaf and no flower.
