Light lilac outer petals, inside violet. Lilac Beauty crocus tommasinianus produces delicate lilac and silvery-white flowers adorned with vibrant orange stamens.
Also known as Thomas' Crocus, this melliferous variety will light up borders, edges of light undergrowth, lawns, wild meadows and rock gardens every year from February.
We particularly appreciate pairing it with a selection of snowdrops and other early bulbs. The crocus tommasinianus Lilac Beauty is also suitable for growing in pots.
