Crocus Pulchellus

Mouth wateringly lovely! Very well named too, pulcherrus =beautiful.

I agree with Steragram, very beautiful. I think it is more attractive than my colchicums.

Its a stunner!

Do they have to be grown in a gravel bed Brian?

Steragram It is growing in a free draining compost but not a gravel bed,What you are seeing is the top dressing of small stones i use on the surface most of my troughs and pots this has a variety of uses which I would probably have to write a blog to explain all of them

Is it in a raised bed then or just in the ground?

I'm trying to catch up Brian but haven't time to comment on each individual plant except to say they are all beautiful ... you are an expert :o)

That holiday went by quick was it the best

Funny Brian I feel as though I've been away for months Lol... it was a brilliant holiday I'll try to put some photos on soon :o) x
BTW I was pleased to see my bed of Saffron crocus's are all peeping through ...
