Crocus Korolkowii is a distinctive early flowering crocus producing rich golden-yellow blooms beautifully marked with dramatic bronze-brown feathering on the outer petals. Flowering from February to March and reaching approximately 10cm in height, this unique botanical variety adds vibrant colour and character to the late winter garden while providing an important early source of nectar for bees and other pollinating insects.

Ideal for rockeries, alpine gardens, borders, containers and naturalising, Crocus Korolkowii thrives in well-drained soil and sunny positions. Left undisturbed, the corms will gradually multiply to create eye-catching drifts of golden flowers that return reliably each spring, making this an excellent choice for natural-style planting.

Aftercare
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the corms can replenish their energy for the following season. Leave the corms undisturbed to encourage naturalising and enjoy increasingly impressive displays each spring. Avoid overwatering during dormancy and ensure the soil remains well drained.
