Crocus vernus 'Pickwick' (Dutch Crocus)

Giant Dutch Crocus ‘Pickwick’ bears large, cup-like silver-lilac flowers, heavily striped with pale and dark lilac stripes. Extremely vigorous, long-lived and appropriate for naturalizing, this crocus belongs to the Crocus vernus group, known for its flowers that are larger than any other of the crocuses. A first-rate choice for planting in big, bold drifts in grass, where it will quickly spread.
