Crocus Prins Claus is a charming early flowering crocus producing elegant white blooms beautifully brushed with rich violet-purple on the outer petals. Flowering from February to March and reaching approximately 8cm in height, this striking variety provides one of the earliest displays of spring colour while offering an important source of nectar for bees and other early pollinating insects.

Perfect for borders, rockeries, containers, lawns and naturalising, Crocus Prins Claus thrives in well-drained soil in sunny or lightly shaded positions. Planted in groups, its distinctive bicolour flowers create eye-catching drifts that return year after year, bringing fresh colour to the garden at the end of winter.

Aftercare
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the corms can store energy for the following season. Leave the corms undisturbed to encourage naturalising and larger displays each spring. Avoid cutting back the leaves until they have fully yellowed.
