Description
(Crocus sieberi atticus Stunner)
The type species grows on Mt Vardousia, near Mt Parnassus in Greece, in light spruce woodland with Platanthera at over 1,050 m. In these colonies one patch was notable for its very broadly expanded stigma.
This is what is stunning about this plant, although the rich violet-indigo petals and strongly contrasted orange-yellow throat are also pretty stunning.
A lovely clone, destined to join the related tricolor and Bowles White in the top rank of sieberi relatives. Garden is fine for this one too!
