Crocus Orange Monarch is a striking autumn-flowering crocus producing vibrant orange goblet-shaped blooms, beautifully marked with rich bronze feathering on the outer petals. Flowering from September to October, this compact variety reaches approximately 10cm in height and is perfect for rockeries, borders, containers and naturalising in gravel gardens or lawns. Its vivid colour provides a welcome splash of brightness as many other garden plants begin to fade.

Ideal for planting in groups, Crocus Orange Monarch creates eye-catching drifts of autumn colour and is an excellent source of late-season interest. Its compact habit also makes it a superb choice for pots and alpine gardens where its distinctive blooms can be enjoyed up close.
