Yellow Snow Crocus Bulbs – Buttery Yellow, Extra-Early, Species Crocus, Fall Planting

Yellow Snow Crocus (Crocus Species 'Romance') is a sweet, cheerful early-spring gem with buttery yellow petals and delicate white highlights. Blooming in clusters about a week ahead of most other crocus varieties, it's one of the very first flowers to break through after winter — and bees absolutely love the extra-early blossoms. Low-growing and dainty, Yellow Snow Crocus naturalizes freely, multiplying year after year into ever-expanding drifts of warm golden color. Plant in abundance anywhere you want an early, reliable splash of sunshine: lawns, borders, rockeries, containers, or under trees and shrubs.
