(Hybrid Crocus, Spring Crocus)

Most gardeners know the delight of the first crocus of spring. Relatively few, though, have experienced the joy of crocuses at other seasons.

Crocus are members of the Iris family, Iridaceae. They bear chalice-shaped flowers of yellow, blue, purple, or white with long floral tubes that extend underground and may bloom in winter,...

(Dutch Crocus, Hybrid Crocus, Spring Crocus)

One of many hybrid crocuses that trace their ancestry to Crocus chrysanthus and C. biflorus, this 1967 introduction bears beautiful snowy flowers early in the year. As with all other crocuses, this diminutive herbaceous perennial grows from a small bulb-like storage organ known as a corm.
