Notes

'Golden Yellow' crocus (Crocus luteus 'Golden Yellow') 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 or part sun, average moisture, and most soil types. Deep golden yellow flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. It sits low on the menu for deer.

Pairs well with Common snowdrop, Crocus, and Greig's tulip.
