The Blue Marlin crocus is a delightful early spring flowering plant. This variety belongs to the small-flowered crocuses that produce their tiny blooms in large numbers. The cup-shaped, fragrant Blue Marlin flowers take on a light blue colour that is adorned with darker venation on the outside. A dark yellow eye is hidden at the bottom of each flower. Those picturesque cups are surrounded by dark green grassy leaves with a silvery stripe in the middle. Tufts of these wonderful flowers do not grow taller than ten centimetres. Low-growing crocuses perfectly fit into pots and planters that you can present on a balcony or terrace. They also adorn rockeries and mountain-style arrangements. Eye-catching crocuses can also take over the foreground of a flower bed or a border. Presented species can also be planted in larger groups on lawns, imitating highland meadows.

Crocuses of this group show excellent resistance to low temperatures. Therefore, you do not have to excavate their bulbs every autumn. Crocus can adorn one site for several years. It prefers growing in sunny situations, where it flowers most abundantly. To bring out its full decorative potential, plant crocus bulbs in groups of a dozen or even more. Choose a sunny place that warms quickly in spring. Slightly moist, humous soil suits crocus needs best. Covering the site with tree bark or mulch is not necessary, yet speeds up flower development in spring.
