The purple large-flowered crocus is a magnificent spring plant. Its deep colour, low height and hardiness belong to the most important advantages of the species. People traditionally plant it on a border or in a rock garden. One of the most popular bulb flowers can also form small groups, spread over a lawn. Purple crocuses grown in larger groups, on the other hand, allow you to recreate a highland meadow. The up to 15 centimetres tall large flowered crocus fits into a pot or planter that you can put on a balcony or terrace in early spring. You can also adorn your interiors with crocuses in pots, but please note that this plant cannot last too long in heated rooms.

A sunny site allows crocus plants to bloom abundantly. This species prefers moderately moist, slightly acidic, humous, and permeable soil. Plant bulbs 10 to 15 centimetres apart and 6 to 8 centimetres deep. Treating small crocus bulbs with fungicide solution belongs to good practice. This is a hardy plant that winters in the ground and propagates rapidly. The maintenance of already planted crocus plants is limited to watering during drought periods and fertilizing with multicomponent plant food.
