Snow Crocus Fuscotinctus

Deep, golden petals with purple markings on the outer petals. Relatively new to Australia, Crocus 'Fuscotinctus' has been in cultivation for over a century and is an absolute beauty. The upright, mid green leaves are very narrow, and surround the blooms.

Crocus chrysanthus are also known as Snow Crocus or Botanical Crocus. The flowers have a light fragrance.

Crocus grow best in Cool to Mediterranean climates where they look best in rockeries, beds and pots. Plant in a sunny spot into well drained soil.

Crocus will tolerate light shade, such as under deciduous trees, especially in more temperate zones. The bulbs don't need to be lifted every year, so you can allow them to naturalise and only dig and divide after four or five years. Protect new growth from slugs and snails. Fertilise Crocus annually in spring. They are suitable for planting in pots.
