Crocus Ice Queen is a beautiful large-flowering crocus that produces elegant crystal white blooms with rich orange stamens and subtle purple shading at the base of each flower. Flowering during March and April, this compact variety reaches approximately 10cm in height and provides one of the earliest displays of spring colour. Perfect for borders, rockeries, containers and lawns, its bright flowers also provide an important early source of nectar for bees and other pollinators.

Supplied as an XL Value Pack, Crocus Ice Queen is ideal for creating generous drifts of pristine white flowers throughout the garden. Recognised as an RHS Plants for Pollinators variety, it is an excellent choice for naturalising, returning year after year to create an increasingly impressive spring display.

Aftercare

Crocus Ice Queen will gradually multiply in well-drained soil, providing larger displays and valuable early nectar for pollinators each spring.
