Crocus Specie Ruby Giant | Capper 16 x 20

Crocus tommasinianus 'Ruby Giant' is a spectacular early spring-flowering bulb that brings vibrant color to gardens when it's needed most. This exceptional species crocus features deep spectrum-violet, star-shaped blooms with subtle paler bases and margins, beautifully complemented by striking golden-orange anthers. The delicate grass-like foliage with narrow silvery stripes adds textural interest even after flowering has finished.

A Jewel of Early Spring

'Ruby Giant' offers numerous benefits that make it a must-have for any landscape project:

• Provides crucial early-season color, often blooming while patches of snow still remain
• Naturalizes readily, multiplying year after year for an expanding display
• Compact size (5-8 cm bloom height) makes it perfect for small spaces and borders
• Deer and squirrel resistant, reducing maintenance concerns
• Drought-tolerant once established, supporting sustainable landscaping
• Attracts early pollinators, supporting local ecosystem health
• Versatile for use in lawns, rock gardens, woodland edges, or container plantings

These hardy little gems create a stunning carpet of color when planted in drifts, bringing life to dormant landscapes just when clients are most eager for signs of spring.

Planting and Growing Information

Plant 'Ruby Giant' corms in fall when daytime temperatures consistently drop to the 60s°F. Choose a site with well-drained soil receiving at least four hours of daily sun. Plant 2-3 inches deep and space 2-3 inches apart. For lawn plantings, avoid mowing until foliage has completely died back, typically six weeks after blooming. Hardy in USDA zones 4-8, these reliable performers will thrive with minimal care, blooming from late winter to early spring, often as early as March in zone 5.
