Notes
With an abundance of slender bulbs, Crocus Ruby Giant is a delightful spring-flowering variety, that brings some opulent colour to a garden border. The deep purple petals delicately fade to a silvery white towards the centre. Perfect for planting in rockeries, terrace containers or naturalising in drifts upon the grass, where their sweet fragrance will attract pollinators.
