    Crocus vernus

    Tracing back to the 1880's, this crocus has been a long-lasting favorite. Blooming very early in the spring, sometimes even among the snowflakes, the 'King of the Striped' Crocus have white flowers with lustrous petals delicately striped with purple. The yellow centers make quite the statement among the stark ground. These crocus are wonderfully priced for this "yard sale"!

    Pros:
    • classic
    • early
    Cons:
    • tasty to garden critters
    I planted these 2 years ago and they still come up early in Spring. Something has been eating them by cropping the plants down to 1/2" of growth when they are nearly finished blooming though. That's acceptable to be as at least no critters are digging up the bulbs and eating them.

    Beautiful
