Species Crocus

Species (Snow) Crocus

Also called Snow Crocuses or Tommies (Tommasinianus).  These beauties are among the earliest to bloom — often while there is still snow on the ground.  They bloom 2 weeks before the large flowering crocuses and are a bit smaller.  Some report that these tommasinianus varieties are deer and squirrel proof.  2 or 3 flowers often grow from one bulb.  The best crocus for the South.
