Crocus

Crocuses are small, hardy flowering plants native to Southern Europe, Central Asia, China, the Middle East, and Africa. These early bloomers often appear in late winter and early spring, sometimes pushing through snow. With over 90 species, Crocuses display beautiful flowers in yellow, white, mauve, and lilac, and their growth is guided by temperature changes, opening as it warms and closing as it cools.
