Crocus Orange Monarch is a unique variety, selected as the only true orange crocus, and it brings a burst of warmth and brightness to the late winter and early spring garden. Its vivid orange petals are enhanced by striking purple flames, making each bloom stand out in rockeries, borders, and containers. Low-growing yet eye-catching, this crocus is also highly attractive to early pollinators, offering an important source of nectar when little else is flowering.

Hardy and reliable, Crocus Orange Monarch will thrive in a wide range of soils provided they are well-drained. It is perfect for naturalising, meaning it will return to flower year after year with minimal care. Whether planted through grass, tucked between shrubs, or in pots on the patio, its early splash of colour signals the first signs of spring.
