Crocus tommasinianus 'Barr's Purple'
species crocus bulbs
There is a silvery sheen to the outside of the petals, which adds another dimension to the soft purple of the blooms. Inside, golden-orange stamens produce a vibrant shot of contrasting colour. Plant these in clusters at the front of a border, cram them into pots for the patio, or use them to line the edges of a path. They are superb.
