These flower stems, tightly furled, push up through the last snowfall, determined to be the very first to open in the new season. The blooms are very large (3 to 4 inches), cup-shaped, and saturated with fresh color. The interior reveals a merry center of gold to orange.

It thrives in sun or shade, even the poor dry shade beneath trees where little else will grow. Deer tend to leave it alone (like many bulbs, it is poisonous), so it has a chance to spread over time. Find a place where it is congenial in your landscape, keep the soil decent enough to allow roots and bulbs to grow, and you will be amazed at how Crocus can take off.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eJust 4 to 6 inches high and 4 inches wide, Crocus is a miniature pleasure for the front of the foundation, the edge of garden paths, containers, and of course the borders.
