CROCUS SEEDS

The Crocus genus, commonly known as Crocus, is a beloved member of the Iridaceae family. These low-growing, bulbous perennials are celebrated for their goblet-shaped flowers in vibrant shades of purple, yellow, white, and striped patterns, often appearing as some of the first blooms of the year. Crocus brings a cheerful burst of colour to rock gardens, lawns, and borders in early spring and autumn.

Native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia, Crocus thrives in well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded locations. These hardy plants are easy to grow and naturalise well, making them a favourite for creating carpets of seasonal colour. Species such as Crocus vernus, or Spring Crocus, and Crocus sativus, the source of saffron, are particularly popular for their beauty and versatility.

The Crocus genus combines charm, resilience, and ease of care, making it a timeless choice for gardeners looking to create vibrant, low-maintenance displays.
