Crocus ?Pickwick? boasts particularly large flowers, pinstriped in purple and white with dazzling golden anthers. This is a vigorous variety, making a useful choice for growing in bold drifts where it will quickly spread to create colourful colonies. Dutch Crocus are renowned for their resilience, toughing out the cold weather from as early as February! Perfect for planting en masse throughout the front of borders or dotting about rockeries and spring containers. Height: 10cm (4). Spread: 5cm (2). Crocuses are among the first heralds of spring. Their cups of vivid colours make such a welcome splash of colour that you?ll just want to keep planting more and more! Dutch large-flowered Crocus (C. vernus) - Larger than the botanical crocuses, Jumbos make a splash of early spring colour. Plant in your lawn, between shrubs, in borders, or in patio containers. They bloom a few weeks after the botanical crocuses - mixing both will create a long-flowering carpet of colour!
