Crocus ancyrensis Golden Bunch

<p>The crocus is a <strong>bulbous perennial</strong> that <strong>flowers very early in spring</strong>, sometimes even at the end of winter. It is a flower of rare simplicity, yet its colours and contrasts appear meticulously crafted. It pierces through the snow and awakens the garden, instantly making us forget the cold and gloom of winter! It is touching in its fragile and delicate appearance. This is a plant with gentle forms and extremely fine foliage. </p> <p>The crocus requires <strong>little attention</strong>: it is easy to grow, very hardy, and tolerates poor soils! It only needs <strong>well-drained soil</strong> and <strong>sunlight</strong>. Moreover, after flowering, it goes into <strong>dormancy</strong> and requires no further care. Once established, it <strong>naturalises</strong> easily and can form vast carpets of flowers! Crocuses fit effortlessly into the garden, whether in the <strong>lawn</strong>, a <strong>rockery</strong>, or a <strong>planter</strong>. They take up no space! </p> <p>At the end of winter, it stands ready, its flower buds poised to bloom at the first rays of sunshine, at the first signs heralding spring… And then, an explosion of colour! The carpets of <strong><em>Crocus tommasinianus</em></strong> covering the lawn, enhancing the base of trees, bringing <strong>colour and life</strong> to the garden. To quickly forget winter and move on to brighter days! A new year begins in the garden… </p> <p>Once its flowering is over, it will enter <strong>dormancy</strong> and fade into the background. It will humbly make way for other plants… only to repeat the same spectacle the following year! What a joy to rediscover it each year, as if it were keeping a springtime appointment with us!</p>
