We love the colouring of this beautiful little crocus, as while the majority of the flower petals are a soft lilac, the outermost petals are even paler (near white), but have a feathered deep purple flash along their length.
Crocus minimus 'Spring Beauty' looks wonderful when they appear in late winter - particularly when planted in generous drifts, or popping up in a container on the windowsill.

Plant bulbs in naturalistic drifts 10cm (4in) deep in September or October, in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. Space bulbs to allow room for natural spreading over the years. Water in well after planting if the soil is dry.
Where bulbs are planted in grass, avoid cutting the lawn until the leaves have fully died back, as this allows the bulbs to store energy for next year’s growth. Mulching lightly with compost or leaf mould can help protect against harsh winter conditions and improve soil fertility.
For best display, plant in groups rather than single bulbs to create a more natural, colourful effect.
