Crocus Species Chrysanthus ‘Prins Claus’ | 20 Corms Per Pack

A striking and eye-catching crocus with bicoloured flowers – purple on the outer petal and snow-white inside. Fragrant and attractive to bees. Flowers early and is attractive to bees wanting to harvest some early pollen.                                                                                                      

Prins Claus is one of our favourites because on sunny days the petals open wide to reveal the whites of the inner petals, and on dull days when the petals close, the purple shades are more noticeable, so in effect you almost have two different plants to enjoy!

Delivery from September onward.
