Large Flowering Crocus Golden Yellow
C2247
Description
The gilded goblets of Crocus ‘Golden Yellow’ are perfect for introducing a splash of warm sunshine early on in the year.
This striking variety will naturalise beautifully in the garden, in an open grassy area, beneath a mature tree or in the border. Excellent for wildlife gardens and invaluable for attracting the first spring pollinators, such as bumblebees and hoverflies.
The petite, cup-shaped flowers open fully in warm sunshine during February and March, showing off their glorious golden stamens and close up as the sun goes down to protect their bounty.
Pretty Crocus look wonderful planted in abundance, in generous, colourful drifts to celebrate the start of spring.
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.
