Notes
'Lyn's Pink' autumn crocus (Crocus tommasinianus 'Lyn's Pink') is a bulb for rock gardens, woodland edges, and low maintenance spots. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and sandy soil. Each corm sends up one to three dusky pink flowers with deeper tips and a white throat. Lyn Bezzant bred it. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Spanish bluebell, and Western sword fern.
