Dutch Crocus (Crocus vernus): Classic Spring Cup Flowers

Dutch Crocus (Crocus vernus), also called Spring Crocus, is the familiar large-flowered crocus that blooms in early spring with cup-shaped flowers in purple, white, yellow, and striped varieties. Its grass-like foliage emerges with the flowers. Extremely easy to grow, it naturalizes vigorously in lawns, under trees, and in rock gardens. A harbinger of spring for generations.
