Crocus vernus 'Pickwick' | Pickwick Dutch Crocus

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Crocus vernus ‘Pickwick’ features broad, goblet-shaped flowers patterned with bold lavender and deep violet striping over a silvery white base. The petals open wide in sunlight, revealing bright orange stamens at the center. Slender, grasslike foliage appears with the blooms, marked by a pale midrib that adds subtle contrast.

Blooming in late winter to early spring, this cultivar is part of the Dutch hybrid crocus group developed in Europe. It performs beautifully in lawns, borders, rock gardens, and containers, where clusters of flowers create early-season color and naturalize gently in open areas with reliable annual return.
