Description

Crocus chrysanthus 'Panda' is a unique and striking variety that brings the garden to life in early spring. This special snow crocus owes its playful name to the exceptional color contrast of its blooms: the inside shines in pure white with bright yellow anthers, while the outside of the petals features deep purple, almost black markings. This bold pattern instantly calls to mind the iconic colors of a giant panda. As one of the very first early bloomers, 'Panda' serves as a crucial food source for early bumblebees and honeybees waking up from their winter sleep. This crocus remains low and compact, making it perfectly suited for naturalizing in lawns, rock gardens, or at the front of borders. Planted in pots and containers on the patio table, this bi-colored mini crocus creates a cheerful spring atmosphere early in the year.
