Crocus ‘Whitewell Purple’ – The First Sign of Spring

When Crocus ‘Whitewell Purple’ starts to peek through the soil, you know spring is on its way! This beloved variety blooms from late winter to early spring, producing clusters of vibrant purple-lilac flowers that brighten up the garden when little else is in bloom. Their golden centres and delicate petals make them a joyful early-season highlight.

Perfect for pots, lawns, or borders, these crocuses are wonderful for naturalising — creating carpets of colour year after year. They’re also ideal for the top layer in bulb lasagna planters, paving the way for daffodils and tulips that follow in spring. Easy to plant and low-maintenance, Crocus ‘Whitewell Purple’ is a must-have for every cheerful, flower-filled garden.
