Notes
Cloth-of-gold crocus (Crocus angustifolius 'Cloth of Gold') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and most soil types. It blooms from early to late spring, so it brings color to the garden when many plants are still waking up. The flowers are fragrant and attract bees. Plant the bulbs in groups for the best show.
Pairs well with Ancilla tulip, Daffodil, and Reticulated iris.
