Crocus banaticus is a small cormous perennial bulb in the Iris family, growing to about 10 cm, with violet or white autumn flowers and grass-like leaves. It is grown as a hardy bulb for the autumn garden and needs free-draining soil and a sunny spot.
Crocus banaticus, is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae. It is native to the Balkans, particularly in Serbia, Romania and south western Ukraine. It creates its own subgenus in the Crocus subfamily known as Crociris. It is a cormous perennial growing to 10 cm (4 in).
Flowers, usually violet but also white, appear in autumn (fall). The small inner tepals are surrounded by three larger tepals, unlike the more symmetrical crocus species found outside of the subfamily. The flowers are followed by grass-like leaves, lacking the silver stripe normally associated with the genus.
