Crocus Ochroleucus Bulb

Crocus ochroleucus is a delicate and elegant autumn-flowering crocus that offers a soft, luminous presence in the garden when few other plants are in bloom. Its creamy white to pale yellow petals are occasionally touched with faint violet veining, creating a subtle yet captivating display. The blooms emerge on slender stems before the foliage, opening fully in sunlight to reveal bright orange-yellow stamens that provide a warm contrast to the light-toned petals. Native to the eastern Mediterranean, this species thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, and naturalized settings. Blooming in the fall, Crocus ochroleucus adds unique seasonal interest and serves as a late nectar source for pollinators. Hardy and low maintenance, it returns reliably each year, offering understated beauty and quiet charm to the autumn landscape.
