Tell Me More...
Announcing the arrival of spring, the unusual Crocus chrysanthus 'Herald' provides fragrant, primrose-yellow goblets with darker golden centre and purple-maroon outer petals. Wonderful too for the hibernating insects as they emerge from their winter slumbers, crocuses offer a vital supply of nectar and pollen. Native to the Balkan countries and also known as the Snow Crocus, chrysanthus have smaller blooms than the Dutch crocus (vernus) but produce more flowers per bulb. Even a small clump can be easily seen from a distance. Blooming earlier too, they often emerge through a layer of snow, hence the common name. Leave undisturbed and they will bloom year after year.Growing from corms Crocus Herald will reach a height of approximately 8-10cm and is wonderful planted in borders and containers, in drifts or for naturalising in your lawn to dramatic effect.Crocus chrysanthus 'Herald' is fully hardy and prefers to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in sun or shade.
