Description
Brown-purple striped on the outside, then yellow on the inside. Fuscotinctus is a surprise that unfolds. In dull weather you see the stripes, in the sun it opens wide.
This is a botanical crocus (Crocus chrysanthus), small, strong and a good naturalizer. The distinctive feature is the brown-purple striping on the outside of the yellow flower. It shows best when the flower is still closed. In the sun the flower opens wide and the warm yellow appears completely. Suitable for borders, lawn, pots and along paths. The flowers open and close with warmth. Leave the leaf alone after flowering. Fragrant, essential food for the first bees.
The Transformer. All his work lies in the transformation.
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% Bloeigarantie. If nothing comes up, send us a message. You will get new bulbs, or your money back.
