Dutch crocus, Crocus vernus, flowers slightly later than Crocus tommasinianus, giving you a longer season of flowering if you grow the two species together. It's particularly useful for naturalising in lawns, where it will quickly self-seed, building up to an impressive and long-lasting spring display.

Crocus vernus 'Pickwick' is an especially lovely Dutch crocs, bearing delicate white flowers with deep purple veining. Flowers appear from spring to early summer but during mild winters they can bloom as early as February. For best results grow Crocus vernus 'Pickwick' in moist but well-draind soil in full sun. Plant the corms 8cm to 10cm deep in autumn. When naturalising in grass, leave the grass uncut for six weeks after flowering to encourage self-seeding.
