Spring Flowering Crocus Tommasinianus Whitewell Purple
C2137
Description
Ideal for naturalising in grass, Crocus tommasinianus ‘Whitewell Purple’ forms lush carpets of soft reddish-purple with a silvery sheen, when it flowers during February and March.
A bewitching, early-spring Crocus ‘Whitewell Purple’ is very free-flowering, bursting into bloom when the weather is still chilly to illuminate the garden with splashes of colour.
Topping short stems, the goblet-shaped flowers open wide in warm sunshine, closing up at night and during wet weather to protect their precious golden-orange stamens.
Plant the bulbs in generous patches and ribbons, through borders, rockeries and areas of open grass. Left undisturbed, Crocus will multiply quickly in fertile well-drained soil, in a sunny spot.
