1 Pickwick Crocus Bulb - Crocus vernus - Large Flowering Spring Blooming Perennial

Pickwick Crocus is a large-flowering spring crocus prized for its striking violet petals marked with bold white and purple striping. Blooming early in the season, often while cool weather lingers, it brings some of the first color to garden beds, borders, rock gardens, and lawn plantings, and it naturalizes readily when left undisturbed.

These cup-shaped blooms open in full sun and close at night or on cloudy days, creating an ever-changing display through the season. Their compact size makes them ideal for front-of-border placement, container growing, and forcing indoors for winter interest. Pair with other early spring bulbs such as snowdrops, grape hyacinths, and early daffodils for a layered succession of color.
