The Alboplenum autumn crocus is a variety that will enchant you with large, white flowers. The flowering period that falls in autumn is the most distinguishing feature of the presented species. This relatively low, only twenty-five centimetres tall plant constitutes a garden gem that looks great planted alongside a path leading to your home. The impressive, magnificent autumn crocus flowers undeniably belong to the main attractions of the closing gardening season. Those golden yellow cups brighten edges of flower beds and decorate lawns under tree crowns. They offer one of the last options to rejuvenate a rock garden and create a cheerful composition in a pot. They look best planted in irregular, naturally looking clumps. What less people know is that autumn crocuses can cut and put into a vase. They can last for quite some time if you pick them right after the buds have developed.

The Alboplenum double autumn crocus grows best at a sunny site, but it will also cope in light partial shade. Permeable, fertile, nutrient-rich soil with a neutral or alkaline reaction suits this species best. It should also be constantly moderately moist, yet not waterlogged. We therefore recommend using a drainage layer before planting the corms. End of summer is the right time for planting autumn crocus. Bulbs planted at that time produce flowers after a few weeks only. Even several dozens of flowers may appear in one clump. Transplant autumn crocuses every few years. Dig their corms out in June and plant immediately at a new position.
