Notes
'Albus' autumn crocus (Crocus speciosus 'Albus') is a bulb that belongs to the iris family. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. White flowers open in early to mid autumn. Each bloom has a yellow throat and pointed segments. The yellow throat gives the white petals a warm center that draws the eye.
Pairs well with Red Riding Hood tulip, Bridal Crown daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
