Spring Flowering Crocus Sieberi Firefly
C2132
Description
Crocus Sieberi ‘Firefly’ is among the earliest Crocus to flower, from February onwards signalling the beginning of spring.
Soft violet-rose petals open up in warm sunshine to reveal a contrasting, glowing golden interior and cluster of stamens which are irresistible to bees. The charming goblet-shaped blooms close up at night and in wet weather, protecting their treasure inside.
Plant these spring beauties to flower in romantic ribbons and pretty swathes of colour, through grassy areas and borders. The bulbs will naturalise and multiply underground for an even richer display every year.
