Crocus Tommasinianus Whitewell Purple
The Crocus Whitewell Purple is an eye-catching perennial that heralds the arrival of spring with its striking, rich purple flowers. Each bloom features six elegant, narrow petals that gently open to reveal a golden-yellow stamen at the centre, creating a beautiful contrast against the vibrant purple hue. Typically reaching a height of 4 to 6 inches, this crocus thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to light shade, making it an ideal choice for rock gardens, borders, or even as part of a naturalised lawn. Blooming between late winter and early spring, the Crocus Whitewell Purple not only provides a stunning visual display but also plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by attracting early-season pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its ability to multiply over time ensures a delightful and colourful carpet of blossoms that can transform any garden space into a springtime wonderland.
