Species Crocus Ruby Giant (tommasinianus)

Add a regal touch and eye-catching color to late winter and early spring with Species Crocus Ruby Giant (tommasinianus). The velvety deep purple, cup-shaped flowers have a lovely violet hue on the outer petals. Growing 4-6" tall, these hardy flowers are a delightful addition to rock gardens, containers and borders—and they're a wonderful complement to Giant Crocus. Because they bloom early, before many deciduous trees leaf out and before lawn-mowing season, species crocus can be planted in woodlands and lawns. Crocus bulbs multiply rapidly, so you'll enjoy more blooms every year. For the best effect, plant crocus bulbs in groups of 10 or more.
