About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Crocus Vernus “Jeanne D’Arc” is a large, pure white Dutch Crocus with pristine, cup-shaped white blooms and striking orange stamens. One of the most beloved harbingers of spring, Crocus often push through the last snow to bloom — a symbol of hope and renewal after winter. “Jeanne D’Arc” is one of the most elegant white Crocus varieties available, producing large, perfectly formed cups of pure white. Naturalises beautifully in lawns, rock gardens and borders in cool Indian hill station gardens.
