Crocus 'Ruby Giant' is a robust and delightful variety known for its large, vibrant purple blooms. As its name suggests, 'Ruby Giant' stands out with its ruby-purple petals, presenting a radiant splash of color in late winter to early spring. When fully open, the blooms reveal a striking bright orange stigma at their heart, contrasting beautifully against the purple petals. The flower's grass-like foliage, often featuring a central silver stripe, serves as a perfect backdrop for these jewel-toned beauties, making them an early garden standout.
