One of the most romantic crocuses that you can buy, these low-growing and early blooming spring flowers open wide in the sun, spreading their warm-yellow petals wide in the early season sunshine. The cup-shaped blooms are abundant and striking, with darker tones making them appear almost bicolour as they open from their pale buds. This wonderful variety is great for container displays on your balcony or decking. In fact, these crocuses will grow almost anywhere in the garden too, even happy in light shade and prefer a free-draining soil. Good for naturalizing as they return reliably and are perfect for planting under shrubs and trees. Leave the bulbs in the ground after the flowers have died back, and they'll reward you with bigger, better displays, each year for many years to come. Supplied as a pack of 30 bulbs, ready for planting.
A pretty bi-coloured Daffodil with dark apricot cups and contrasting white petals. This bright and breezy variety welcomes the spring with its large trumpets and intense colour ? little wonder that it holds a prestigious RHS AGM.
