Notes

'Jeanne d'Arc' Dutch crocus (Crocus vernus 'Jeanne d'Arc') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. 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. The large flowers are pure white with a deep purple base. They open from late winter into spring and bring bees to the garden.

Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Alexander Fleming peony, and Musk mallow.
