Crocus are among the very first flowers to bloom each spring. An old-time garden favorite, the colourful, cup-shaped flowers will naturalize and multiply year over year for gardens that keep giving. The easy to grow perennial is part of the iris family and is popular in colder climates as they indicate that warmer weather is on its way.

The cheerful flower grows just inches above the ground and do well in light shade under trees and shrubs.
