Crocus pulchellus Bulb

Crocus pulchellus is a graceful and early autumn-flowering crocus that adds delicate charm to the garden as the season transitions. Its slender, goblet-shaped flowers display soft violet to pale purple petals often marked with subtle darker stripes, creating a refined and elegant appearance. The blooms open fully in the sunlight to reveal bright orange stamens that provide a vibrant contrast to the gentle petal hues. Native to the mountainous regions of Turkey and the Caucasus, Crocus pulchellus thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, containers, and naturalized areas. Blooming in the fall, it offers unique seasonal interest and provides an important late nectar source for pollinators preparing for winter. Hardy and low maintenance, this beautiful crocus returns reliably each year, bringing a touch of autumnal grace to any garden.
