SIZE: Approximately 2”
DESCRIPTION: These crocata are this tristis variety, which is known for its light fragrance when flowering. When they do bloom, they produce cute little yellow flowers. Just be aware, these are very small plants and won’t grow to be more than a few inches at their largest. They are self-pollinating though so over the course of time, they will form into large colonies as shown in the last photo here.
