Taylors Bulbs Crocus 'Queen Bee' 7

A regal, richly coloured snow crocus, 'Queen Bee' opens golden-yellow petals boldly feathered with deep maroon-purple on the reverse, glowing warmly in the low late-winter sun. One of the earliest crocus to flower, its unusual colouring and neat, clustered blooms make it a real standout at the front of borders, in rockeries, or in pots for a close-up display, while also providing valuable early nectar for emerging pollinators. Reaching around 10cm in height, it's easy to grow and ideal for naturalising. Plant corms in autumn, 5cm deep, in well-drained soil in a sunny spot.
