Crocus Ard Schenk Pack of 8

With pure white petals which open to reveal a golden heart, Crocus Ard Schenk will certainly inject a bit of springtime sunshine into your garden. This popular variety is easy to grow and virtually looks after itself, naturalising to reward you with gorgeous blooms year after year.

Plant en masse, on slopes or banks, beds or borders for a stunning display in the garden, or grow them in pots or containers on the patio to bring the colour up-close. This variety carries the RHS Plant for Pollinators mark, and will make your garden a hive of activity with bees and other little pollinators buzzing about.

Crocus species and cultivars are versatile dwarf bulbous plants. Most flower in late winter or early spring; a few bloom in autumn. Colours range from white, cream, and yellow to pinkish-lilac and purple, and many are attractively striped or feathered with other colours.

The goblet-shaped flowers open wide in full sun, in some cases revealing contrasting centres or conspicuous stamens. Most crocuses are also fragrant. Plant in rock or gravel gardens with other early flowering dwarf bulbs or perennials, in drifts in grass or beneath deciduous trees and shrubs, where they will rapdily spread.

If naturalised in grass, delay mowing until the leaves have died down. Feed with an all-purpose granular fertiliser once the flowers have faded.

Orders will only be held for 72 hours.
