Crocus- Ruby Giant
Crocus tommasinianus
NOT TO TAS, WA
- Purple goblet-shaped flowers
- Naturalises easily
- Also known as 'Woodland crocus'
A hardy clump-forming perennial growing 8-15cm tall with strappy green leaves and strong stems. The violet purple goblet-shaped flowers have shades of purple-red on the outside; on the inside they fade toward the yellow stamens.
Suited to growing in containers or mass planting in gravel gardens, rockeries, at the front of beds and borders, in lawns and under deciduous trees. The flowers provide an early source of nectar for insects. Corms naturalise easily and are low maintenance once established.
Native to Hungary, Croatia and Bulgaria. This variety blooms after Snow Crocus but before other varieties. Corms are quick to multiply. Also known as 'Woodland crocus'.
