Crocus sieberi subsp. sublimis "Tricolor" is a truly exotic crocus, whose appearance is delightful. Lilac-blue petals are illuminated at the base by a wide band of golden-yellow and white. The stigmas are bright orange. The flowers contrast effectively with the dark brown stems. If external beauty is not enough, this plant is also fragrant. Individual flowers are intriguing, like orchids. Planted in a group, the 'Tricolor' crocus produces the same effect as a mesmerizing mix of Crocuses mix, but all at once. The first time you see this plant, you will fall in love with it forever!

Crocus Tricolor (Tricolor) begins to bloom early, like all wild crocuses, in February-March. And, if you plant it this autumn, it will greet you in early spring with magnificent colors. This plant is often called "Snow Crocus" for obvious reasons. It blooms well before the awakening of Dutch hybrids. Therefore, you can enjoy a long period of crocus blooming if you plant both.

This crocus is ideal for creating bright spots in a sunny shrub border between deciduous shrubs. It requires spring sun to accumulate enough food and form a new flower by autumn. After the foliage has matured, shade is not a problem for the plant, so choose companions for the crocus carefully. This species is grown in sandy, moderately fertile, but well-drained soils. Planting depth is 8 cm, the distance between corms when planting is 12 cm. Planting density: about 45 corms per 1 sq.m. The plant is frost-resistant: it does not require winter covering. Do not plant on a lawn, as the plant may be left without leaves during mowing. This should not be allowed, because then the crocuses grow poorly and die. It propagates by dividing overgrown nests of corms in the autumn.
