25 Bulbs Pickwick Crocus Large-Flowering Spring Blooming Purple Striped
Pickwick crocus is a large-flowering spring-blooming crocus prized for its violet-purple petals accented with bold white feathering and a bright orange center. This classic heirloom variety naturalizes readily and delivers some of the earliest color of the season, making it a favorite for borders, rock gardens, and containers.
Plant Pickwick crocus in drifts for a striking early spring display, or tuck bulbs among perennials and lawn edges where they can spread over time. The compact blooms open in full sun and offer nectar for early pollinators. Their small stature suits edging, patio pots, and forcing indoors for winter interest.
