Crocus speciosus is a delightful autumn-flowering crocus that naturalizes easily in grass, increasing rapidly by both seeds and offsets. Its long-tubed flowers appear in shades of violet-blue with deeper blue veins and bright orange divided styles. A charming addition to rock gardens or meadow plantings.
Mice, voles, and squirrels may eat corms; birds may pick off flowers.
