Joan of Arc is one of the most famous varieties of the ones called "Snow Crocus" for obvious reasons. They bloom well before the Dutch Crocus, so for a long season of crocus bloom, plant them both. They work almost exactly the same. Unlike the Dutch crocus group of hybrids, these are true "wild bulbs"--species crocus that grow in the wild in Greece and other areas. Add these beauties to your wildflower collection, and you'll enjoy them for years.

Colorful Crocus--the first sign of spring! Use them in borders or edging; in groups of a dozen or hundreds and thousands for naturalizing; in the grass, woodlands, slopes, under trees.
