Crocus Flower Record
Crocus Flower Record is a striking spring variety, producing large violet blooms with bright orange stamens that stand out beautifully in the garden. Flowering in March and April, this bee-friendly crocus is highly valued for its ability to naturalise, returning year after year with a carpet of colour. Its upright blooms open fully in the sunshine, creating a dazzling early-season display.
Perfect for planting in lawns, rockeries, and containers, Crocus Flower Record thrives in well-drained soil and enjoys sunny conditions, though the flowers will last longer in partial shade. When planted in groups, it creates a bold splash of purple that brightens the garden after winter and provides vital nectar for pollinators.
