Crocus ancyrensis Golden Bunch

Crocus ancyrensis 'Golden Bunch' is a selected variety bearing yellow-orange flowers with a mandarin-orange centre. Its colour is more intense than the botanical species and it produces more flowers. The beautiful heart of almost red-orange stamens is only visible during the day, as the flower closes at night. It is undoubtedly one of the earliest bulbs, flowering at the same time as snowdrops.

Leave crocus bulbs in place. They easily naturalise and form bright patches.

Scatter them in lawns, in borders, and in rockeries. You can also use them to make pretty pots on a patio. You can mow your lawn once the flowering is over, and you will be able to walk over it without damaging the flowering for the following year. A sowing of crocus bulbs provides a beautiful country atmosphere even in the smallest gardens.
