Crocus vernus 'Flower Record'
Crocus 'Flower Record'
Crocuses are suitable for planting in groups in borders or rock gardens and some species naturalise in grass. All species are hardy to -20C. With many autumn flowering varieties now available, it is likely you will spot crocuses growing for at least six months of the year, from mid-autumn to late spring. Crocus vernus (the 'Spring Crocus', 'Giant Crocus', or Dutch Crocus') is a spring flowering species crocus and has large flowers of whites, purples, mauves or lilacs and start flowering a little later than other spring flowering crocus. They have grass like foliage. 'Flower Record' is a selected cultivar which has deep glossy purple petals, and a purple perianth tube.

Planting
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Plant crocus corms in Autumn for flowering the following Spring. Crocus corms have a flattened base, and slightly pointed top. They should be planted in moist, free-draining soil that has been enriched with organic compost or well-rotted manure, in a sunny, or partially sunny site. Plant the corms before the first frost.
Flowering
From Late Winter TO Early Spring
Crocus flowers are amongst the very first flowers to appear in late Winter or early Sring
