Crocus Ruby Giant About as close to the true species as currently available crocuses come, Tommasinianus Ruby Giant is a little taller, with more slender buds than many of the rest of this clan. If you struggle with squirrels digging up your bulbs, try this variety before throwing in the towel on crocuses. (Also, consider buying a large can of cheap red pepper and sprinkle it on the freshly planted soil. Sometimes if you can keep the squirrels away for the first few days, they move on and leave the bulbs alone.) A great naturalizer that spreads gently and even grows well in open woodland sites. Deer resistant. Highlights & Hints - An extra large flowered bloomer so you can really enjoy the lovely purple markings. - Slip a few stems into a tiny bud vase. Perfect! - Happy in containers, garden beds, flower boxes or naturalizing at the edge of the lawn. - Let these lovely little harbingers of spring tempt you out into the garden. They won't be tempting to the deer.
