Striking Crocus tommasinianus ‘Ruby Giant’ produces vivid ruby-purple cups during February and March each year.

This outstanding, early flowering Crocus bursts into bloom seemingly overnight, when the weather is still chilly in late winter.  The glorious flowers open up in bright sunshine and close up at night and during wet weather, protecting their precious golden stamens.

Wonderful for adding lively pops of colour at a time when the garden can be lacking in vibrance.

The bulbs can be planted in borders, rockeries and areas of open grass – fabulous in large drifts or patches.  Left undisturbed, Crocus will naturalise easily in fertile well-drained soil, in a sunny spot in the garden.
