This description is for Fall crocus (Crocus goulimyi):
Another striking deciduous perennial flowering plant, crocus goulimyi is one of the more favoured species of the genus due mainly to the warm, rounded shape of its beautiful blossoms. Commonly called the autumn or fall crocus, it flowers after the heat of summer, producing large goblet-shaped lavender or white blossoms that sit atop short stems just above its clump of slender, strap- shaped mid-green leaves. It has three large outer tepals, with three paler inner tepals, which open to reveal creamy throats and golden-yellow stamens. Ideally suited for gravel beds, rockeries and slopes, the autumn crocus thrives in poorly fertile, well-drained locations in full sun. No pruning is necessary.
