DESCRIPTION: Crocus tommasinianus 'Ruby Giant' is one of the most beloved and well-known varieties of Tommasini’s crocus (Crocus tommasinianus), appreciated for its hardiness, ability to naturalize, and early blooming. Despite the name “Giant”, which might suggest a large plant, this is still a small-sized crocus — but with unusually large flowers compared to other botanical crocuses. The real standout feature is its color: an intense purple with ruby highlights, elegant and vivid — hence the name Ruby Giant. 🌸 Appearance and Features The flower has a slender, slightly goblet-shaped form, opening star-like on sunny days. Its coloring is especially distinctive: Amethyst purple, with ruby or purplish tones depending on the light Sometimes with silvery or lilac reflections on the outer side of the petals Golden-yellow stamens at the center, standing out beautifully against the darker background The blooming is often so profuse that when planted in groups, it creates true purple carpets, offering a magical display in late-winter gardens. 📏 Size Height: 10–12 cm (4–5 in) Flower diameter: up to 5 cm (2 in) — remarkable for a botanical crocus Blooming period: Late winter – early spring (February to March) 🌿 Cultivation 'Ruby Giant' is one of the most hardy, reliable, and easy-to-grow crocus varieties: Planting time: in autumn, from September to November Planting depth: 6–8 cm Spacing: 5–10 cm Soil: well-drained, light, even poor soil Exposure: full sun or partial shade Hardiness: excellent resistance to frost, snow, and temperature fluctuations Once planted, it tends to naturalize easily, multiplying year after year and forming dense, spontaneous colonies. 🌱 Where to Plant It Ideal for: Naturalized lawns Woodland gardens Under deciduous trees Mixed flower beds Pots and outdoor containers It pairs beautifully with white or yellow varieties (like Crocus chrysanthus 'Romance') to create vibrant spring contrasts full of life and light. 🐝 Pollinator-Friendly As one of the very first flowers to bloom, 'Ruby Giant' is highly attractive to bees, bumblebees, and other pollinators hungry after winter.
