For those of us who love purple, our Majestic Lavender Dutch Crocus Mixture is equal parts of spectrum-violet Flower Record, sea lavender-violet Grand Maître and gray-blue and purple striped Pickwick. Each variety has six-petaled flowers with orange anthers that open and close on sunny days, and grass-like foliage with narrow, median silver-white stripes.

Crocus Class: Dutch Large Flowering. Bulb size: 9 cm/up. Full to partial sunlight. Bloom time in horticultural zone 5: April. Plant 5" deep and 4" apart. HZ: 4-8. Height: 5". (Crocus are also good for forcing indoors over the winter. Pot them up in mid-October and precool them at a consistent, dark 38°F to 45°F for eight to ten weeks with moderate watering. Bring them into the house~they will bloom about four weeks later.)

Crocus are The Art & Soul of Spring.
