Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is an interspecific hybrid of Crocus reticulatus × C. angustifolius, selected from seedlings. The plant height is 10 to 15 cm. The flowers are golden-yellow inside, with characteristic purple-brown or bronze stripes on the outer petals.

The plant is sterile and does not produce seeds; however, it possesses high growth vigor and the ability for rapid vegetative propagation. The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness and resistance to diseases, including viral infections.

Flowering begins in late winter or early spring. A single bulb is capable of producing up to 13 flowers. The variety is intended for open field, including rock gardens and borders, and is also suitable for container cultivation and naturalization.
