Notes
'Albus' autumn crocus (Crocus tommasinianus 'Albus') is a bulb for borders, rock gardens, and woodland gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade, average moisture, and most soil types. Deer tend to browse other plants first. White flowers open from early winter to late spring and attract bees. It forms clumps and is low maintenance.
Pairs well with Alpine squill, Lenten rose, and Common snowdrop.
