Crocus vernus
Dutch Crocus is a fast-growing perennial, hardy in USDA zones 3-8, that matures to about 4–6 in × 4–6 in. It does best in full sun and part shade with medium water needs in well-drained soil. Expect yellow, purple and white blooms in spring. It attracts bees, stands up well to black walnut, deer and drought and grows happily in containers.
