20 Crocus Record Bulbs Crocus vernus Spring Flowering

Crocus Record is a classic spring-flowering crocus prized for its large, vivid violet-purple blooms accented by bright orange stigmas. Blooming in late winter to early spring, these dependable bulbs naturalize readily and return year after year, making them a favorite for borders, rock gardens, and lawn plantings.
Crocus Record works beautifully when planted in drifts along walkways, at the front of beds, or scattered through lawns for an early-season display. The cup-shaped flowers open in sunshine and pair well with other low-growing spring bulbs. They also make charming container plantings for patios and porches.
