SPECIES CROCUS 
This year we have a nice selection of both spring and fall blooming species 
crocus. These little crocus are miniatures of our giant spring crocus, and “have the 
added attraction of blooming, either the same fall ‘they’ re planted, or very early the 
following spring, depending upon type. They come in a wide range of colors, and 
are very free-flowering. 
Shipped in August and September.
