Autumn Flowering Crocus

The delightful little blooms of autumn flowering crocus usually emerge from late October onwards, just as much in the garden is starting to fade. We often plant them under the skirts of low growing perennials, which helps give support to the flowers during inclement autumn weather and helps protect the corms in situations where mice might otherwise be a problem. 

Note: The Christmas flowering crocus, crocus laevigatus fontenayi AGM, is listed under the spring crocus section.
