Ruby Giant Species Crocus

Once the Ruby Giant bulbs have established themselves, their early flowering lilac-purple flowers, and silver-striped leaves, emerge in seemingly infinite numbers. They do this year after year. Because they are so low-growing, they remain less affected by the wind and rain than many of their fellow crocuses. Crocus bulbs remaining in the ground will always bloom a bit earlier than the ones planted the previous year. Use them in rock gardens, ground covers, containers, mass plantings and borders.
