1 Bulb Crocus vernus Spring Flowering Crocus

Crocus vernus is a spring-blooming crocus grown from a bulb, prized for its upright, cup-shaped flowers that appear early in the season before most other garden plants awaken. Its compact habit and vivid petals make it a classic choice for borders, rock gardens, and container displays, offering a bright welcome to the growing year.

These bulbs are well suited to beds, borders, lawn naturalizing, and patio pots, where their low foliage and early blooms add seasonal interest. Plant in groups for the strongest visual impact, and allow foliage to remain after bloom so the bulb can store energy for the following season. They pair nicely with other early-flowering bulbs and low-growing perennials.
