Crocus 'Conqueror' (12 bulbs)

The Autumn Crocus 'Conqueror' (Crocus speciosus) is an autumn-flowering crocus that produces stunning violet blue blooms throughout September and October.

Perfect for planting in a sunny shrub border surrounded by deciduous plants, or scattered throughout a lawn in late July to September. They should be planted around 8cm deep in gritty, well-drained soil. More often than not it is the first crocus to bloom in Autumn, and will quickly naturalise to create a large colony.

The goblet-shaped purple flowers and bold orange anthers are perfect for pollinating insects, as recognised by its inclusion in the RHS Plants for Pollinators collection. Create a haven for bee and be rewarded with vibrant floral displays.
