The Barr's Purple crocus is an amethyst purple beauty. It belongs to the earliest signs of the coming spring. Patches of this cheerful crocus constitute an integral part of a garden that wakes up to life after the winter. The inner petals shine with a slightly lighter coating that contrasts wonderfully with the yellow-orange anthers. The flowers surrounded by the grass-like leaves that are adorned with creamy-white stripes are the spring freshness impersonated.

The unique lilac colour beautifully harmonizes with a romantic flower bed of the first spring bulb flowers. The 10 to 15 cm Barr's Purple crocuses provide a good solution for filling path edgings and flower bed corners. They are a great fit for the rock gardens too. The rapidly spreading croci constitute an ideal component of a flower bedding. They can also be used in various arrangements in planters that will adorn the surroundings of your home, a balcony or home interior. Crocuses can be successfully forced.

The crocuses should be grown on sunny sites. Partial shade will not hurt them, either. They will grow best in a permeable soil that is rich in nutrients and warms up quickly. They winter in the ground. Dig the bulbs out every few years.
