Crocus Dutch hybrid Vanguard

 The 'Dutch' crocus are hybrids of Crocus vernus and from which much selection has taken place to provide the varieties on offer. These are larger bulbs which can be planted in thicker grass than the smaller 'normal' crocus bulbs. This makes them safer from squirrels and mice.  Silvery mauve on the outside, paler within the flower and generally earlier flowering than the others in the same condition.  Late February/early March flowering, 5" (12.5cm) tall.

Planting instructions

Plant them 3" (7cm) apart and work on about 15 per square foot.
