Crocus Ruby Giant is a superb Crocus tommasinianus variety producing elegant violet-purple flowers with silvery-white interiors that brighten the garden from February to March. Reaching approximately 8cm in height, these early-flowering crocuses create a stunning carpet of colour in borders, rockeries, containers and lawns. Their graceful blooms open fully in the sunshine, revealing vibrant orange stamens that attract bees and other early pollinators.

Supplied as an XL Value Pack, Crocus Ruby Giant is ideal for naturalising, where the corms spread gently to create increasingly spectacular displays each spring. Awarded RHS Plants for Pollinators status, this reliable variety provides an important early nectar source while delivering dependable colour after winter.

Ruby Giant will gradually multiply in well-drained soil, producing larger displays each spring while supporting bees and other beneficial pollinators.
