'Pickwick' has stunning, delicate purple veining running along the length of its petals which surround and cosset beautiful golden stamens cocooned within the centre of the flower. The petals have a light fringe to the edges, giving them a slightly ruffled effect.
These larger, later-flowering Dutch crocus bulbs fare better against squirrel-grazing than other smaller, less robust species. Always worth including in the garden, these delightful bulbous perennials signal that spring is just around the corner.
Plant these in a sunny spot where they will quickly form large clumps.

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.
