Description
(formerly Crocus vernus Drina Marvel)
In 2014 a wide geographical range of the Crocus vernus complex was studied. As a result there are some newly named species and the re-emergence of many old names, formerly and incorrectly lumped as synonyms under the very broad umbrella name of “Crocus vernus”. We now have the following species names :- heuffelianus, ilvensis, neapolitanus, neglectus, siculus and we still retain vernus as a valid name for some plants.
A superb form with intense and deep, mineral violet, (think Methylated Spirits) conical flowers in early spring.
Easy in a moist, well drained spot outside.
