The Flower Record is the crocus you simply cannot miss. Whilst many crocuses are small and understated, this one has large flowers and a striking appearance — deep purple, with yellow stigmas that stand out brilliantly. A colour combination that catches the eye even on a grey February day, just when the garden needs it most.
Perfect for naturalising in grass
The Flower Record is a wild crocus of the Crocus vernus variety and one of the most reliable naturalisers of its kind. Plant it loosely through a lawn or border in the autumn — it will return every year, spreading slowly and becoming more beautiful with each passing year. After flowering, wait to mow until the foliage has turned yellow, so the bulb can recharge for the following season.
For bees, early in the year
The Flower Record flowers just when bees and bumblebees are most in need of nectar — in early spring, when hardly anything else is in bloom. The flower opens wide in the sun, exactly as pollinators need it to. A group of Flower Records in the garden is therefore one of the simplest things you can do to support biodiversity in your neighbourhood. Organically grown, certified NL-BIO-01.
