Kapiteyn Crocus Ruby Giant is one of the earliest crocuses to bloom, bringing a flush of rich violet-purple flowers to the garden after winter. Despite its name, Ruby Giant flowers in bold purple shades, opening wide in the sunshine and creating a striking display in borders, lawns, rockeries, and containers. Loved by bees, it provides valuable nectar at a time when little else is in flower.
