Description
A butter-yellow crocus that blooms through winter. Advance appears early in February, long before its bigger brothers. Small, but easy to spot in the grass.
This is a botanical crocus: small and strong, for those who want the earliest. Butter yellow with purple-brown streaks on the outside. It naturalises easily, so more every year. In borders, lawn, pots and along paths it feels at home. The flowers open wide in the sun and close again in cloud and cold. That keeps the pollen dry for the first bees. Leave the leaf alone after flowering; mow only six weeks later.
The First. It is in bloom when everyone else is still asleep.
The bulbs come from the Dutch bulb fields. Hand-selected for quality and size, and delivered at the right planting time. A larger bulb holds more food, and you see that in the flower: more blooms, and fuller.
We offer our 100% Bloom Guarantee.
