Specie Crocus 'Orange Monarch' Bulbs

The Orange Monarch Crocus is considered to be the only true orange Crocus. It’s one of wonderful Tommie crocuses and is sure to be an eye catching picture especially with snow still on the ground. They have chocolate striping as they mature.They naturalize areas very well and bring splashes of color to the bland winter landscape.   

Crocuses signal spring’s return. The blooms pop up even through snow and after months of winter, they may cause you to leap for joy. Plant them by your walkways or where ever you can see out a window.  They don’t even need a flowerbed as they will be long gone when it is time to mow your lawn.  A natural technique is to take a few bulbs and just toss them in front of you – then plant where they land!
