Picturatus autumn crocus

Notes

'Picturatus' autumn crocus (Crocus versicolor 'Picturatus') is a bulb for borders, rock gardens, and naturalizing in lawns. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. It blooms in early to late spring with pure white petals that have blunt tips. The backs of the petals are feathered with dark purple veining, and orange pistils add a bright accent.

Pairs well with Picture tulip, Spanish bluebell, Blush peony, and Sensitive fern.
