Crocus Dutch Hybrid Ice Queen
Crocus Ice Queen is an exquisite flowering plant that showcases striking, pure white petals adorned with soft lavender undertones at their base. This stunning cultivar belongs to the Crocus genus, renowned for its ability to bloom gracefully in early spring, often pushing through the last remnants of winter's snow. Each blossom opens in a goblet shape, creating a captivating contrast against the earthy tones of the thawing ground.
These hardy flowers thrive in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, preferring locations that receive full sun to partial shade. With a height of approximately 4 to 6 inches, Crocus Ice Queen forms charming clusters that create a breathtaking carpet of colour across rock gardens, borders, or naturalised areas.
Not only are they visually striking, but they also attract pollinators such as bees, making them a beneficial addition to any garden. Furthermore, these low-maintenance bulbs are deer-resistant and can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, providing versatility in garden design. The sight of Crocus Ice Queen emerging as winter recedes serves as a glorious herald of spring, bringing both joy and beauty to outdoor spaces.
