Crocus Chr. Cream Beauty

Crocus Chr. Cream Beauty

Early soft-cream crocus with warm yellow centres. Ideal for naturalising in lawns, gravel, or under deciduous trees.

Description

Crocus chrysanthus Cream Beauty brings a soft, elegant tone to late winter and early spring planting. Its pale cream flowers with deep yellow throats open wide on sunny days, providing an early food source for pollinators. This compact crocus is a strong performer in Irish conditions, thriving in well-drained soils and full sun or light shade. It naturalises easily in lawns, gravel paths, and under trees where filtered light reaches the ground before canopy closure.

Its understated tones pair beautifully with the porcelain blues of Scilla mischtschenkoana and the soft pinks of Corydalis solida Beth Evans. For more contrast and early bloom layering, it works well alongside Galanthus nivalis and Chionodoxa luciliae. A superb choice for those seeking quiet, naturalistic spring colour that establishes long-term with minimal maintenance.
