Here you’ll find our VERY rarest bulbs along with late finds and others we simply couldn’t squeeze into our print catalog.

Those marked “Web-Only & Rarest” are sometimes in such short supply that they sell out within days — and some years we can’t offer them at all — so if you see one you like, we recommend you order it now!

KING OF THE STRIPED, 1880        Web-Only
This long-loved Victorian king combines mostly striped petals with mostly purple ones for a look that’s charmingly imperfect, like your grandmother’s patchwork quilt. C. vernus, zones 4-7bS/8bWC, from Holland. Chart to compare.

MAMMOTH YELLOW, 1665        Web-Only
Gotta have it! This is the most popular crocus of the past 300 years, a vibrant orange-yellow, like molten sun. C. x luteus, zones 4-7bS/8bWC, from Holland. Chart to compare.

C. tommasinianus PICTUS, 1914        Web-Only
Add some zing to your spring with this jewel-box crocus. Its soft lavender petals are tipped with deep purple for a glittering, almost polka-dotted effect. It’s not cheap, but it may be our most exciting crocus, and it self-sows happily! Zones 5b-8aS/8bWC, from Holland. Chart to compare.

CASSANDRA, 1897        Web-Only & Rarest
This very rare Victorian pheasant’s eye is another treasure from the illustrious Rev. Engleheart who gave the world ‘Beersheba’, ‘Lucifer’, ‘White Lady’, and many others. It’s richly fragrant, with petals of “driven snow” (to quote the British Saturday Review of 1905), a cup of “glowing orange edged with deep madder,” and a “heart of pure green.” 9WC-GWYR, 18-20”, zones 4-6bS/8WC, from Holland. Chart to compare.
