Notes
'Prins Claus' snow crocus (Crocus chrysanthus 'Prins Claus') 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. White flowers open from winter into spring, and bees visit them. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Once planted, it needs little care.
Pairs well with Common snowdrop, Lenten rose, and Black Hero tulip.
