Notes
'Albus' autumn crocus (Crocus cartwrightianus 'Albus') is a bulb with pure white flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. It blooms in early to mid autumn. Each flower has deep orange pistils and yellow anthers. The orange and yellow centers stand out against the white petals, so plant the bulbs in groups for the best show.
Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, China Town tulip, Fanal astilbe, and Cat's Pajamas nepeta.
