Bring a rich pool of dark purple colour to pots, borders and lawns with Crocus 'Flower Record'. Its large, glossy, goblet-shaped flowers open to reveal vivid orange stamens, creating a striking contrast just as the spring garden begins to wake. The compact blooms look especially effective planted in generous groups, where their strong colour can form an eye-catching carpet close to the ground. As a clearly named large-flowering cultivar, 'Flower Record' is an excellent choice for a coordinated display rather than an unpredictable purple mixture.
