Notes
'Spring Beauty' pygmy crocus (Crocus minimus 'Spring Beauty') 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. Deer tend to browse other plants first. White flowers open from early to late spring, and bees visit the blooms for early food.
Pairs well with Winter aconite, Common snowdrop, Reticulated iris, and Lenten rose.
