Description
True orange is rare among crocuses. Orange Monarch is the first and only true orange crocus on the market. It is named after the monarch butterfly. Warm bronze-orange with purple-black vein lines.
This is a botanical crocus (Crocus olivieri), small-flowered and very early. The orange color with black vein lines on the outside is unique. Suitable for borders, lawn, pots and along paths. Naturalizes well. Leave the leaf alone after flowering. Fragrant, essential food for the first bees. Honest expectation: as a botanical crocus it becomes smaller than the large-flowered vernus crocuses. About ten centimeters tall at most.
The Unique One. There is only one of her kind in this garden.
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.
