?? Crocus 'Ruby Giant' (20 bulbs) – Velvet rubies as the garden awakens ? Submitted by Van Noort
Crocus 'Ruby Giant' bursts forth in the last breaths of winter, revealing its large, satiny purplish-purple petals , like jewels placed on the still-damp grass. Its generous blooms create a strong, warm contrast as the light timidly returns to the garden.
Larger than most botanical crocuses, it nevertheless retains the natural finesse and spontaneous vitality that make it so endearing. Very floriferous, quick to naturalize, it is perfect for colonizing borders, lawns or rockeries with poetry. A lively, luminous and deeply joyful flowering, to open the spring ball with panache .
