CROCUS
VERNUS: LARGE FLOWERING CROCUS |
The
early-blooming and long-lived bulbs of spring that everyone knows
and loves. Note that there are two types; the Large-Flowering
Hybrid Crocus Vernus, and the Early Bunch-Flowering Crocus Species
of different origins and often exceptional coloration. By using
both kinds, one prolongs the blooming season. Crocus do multiply
amazingly and can be planted any place: in combination with Tulips,
in Vinca or Pachydandra beds, naturalized in the grass around
deciduous trees, and even in formal lawns. |
