Crocus 'Queen Bee' is a vibrant and stunning variety of crocus known for its bold golden-yellow flowers with hints of orange at the base of each petal. This striking crocus brings a cheerful and warm pop of colour to the garden in the early spring, often blooming just as winter is receding and signaling the arrival of warmer weather. The nectar-rich flowers of 'Queen Bee' provide an essential early food source for bees and butterflies, making it a great choice for a pollinator-friendly garden.

At just 4 to 6 inches tall, Crocus 'Queen Bee' is perfect for planting in containers, rock gardens, flower borders, or even naturalizing in lawns. Its compact size makes it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or those looking to add vibrant colour in tight spaces. Easy to grow and hardy in a wide range of climates Crocus requires little care once planted. These crocus will thrive, multiply and return each year, creating a naturalized, long-lasting display of early spring colour in your garden. Height: 15cm (6in). Spread: 5cm (2in).

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
