fall flowering crocus
Crocus speciosus
Overview
Fall flowering crocus (Crocus speciosus) is a bright and bold species of plant found increasingly in gardens and meadows as the climate in many countries becomes more temperate. This special crocus shows off its blooms from August to late autumn in vibrant shades of magenta, white, and purple. A low-maintenance plant, it requires full sun exposure and is drought-resistant making it an ideal choice for sunny dry gardens. Fall flowering crocus has many uses around the garden, whether it be for paving setts, a huge carpet of beauty in naturalized or grassy areas, or equally stunning in a large pot on your patio.
