Crocus tommasinianus roseus

An exquisite harbinger of spring, with a touch of elegance and romance to the early garden. Its refined, silvery-lilac petals blush with rosy-pink tones, gently opening to reveal a vibrant golden heart that draws in the first pollinators of the year. One of the finest pink crocuses available, this cherished variety naturalises easily and forms generous drifts of colour that lift the spirits after winter’s grey retreat. A quietly enchanting choice, offering understated beauty and the promise of spring, year after year.

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in autumn, ideally between September and November, before the ground freezes.

Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. These crocuses are perfect for naturalising in lawns, borders, under deciduous trees, or in rock gardens.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant bulbs 7–10cm deep.
• Spacing: Space bulbs 2-3 Inches (5–7cm) apart for a natural look.
• Position: Pointy end facing up.

Care Tips:

• Water in after planting, then only during very dry periods.
• Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to nourish next year’s growth.
• These crocuses readily self-seed and spread gently over time if undisturbed.

Ideal For: Early spring colour, pollinators, and low-maintenance naturalised drifts.
