Crocus gargaricus is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae. It is a cormous perennial native to Turkey.
Crocus gargaricus grows only on Kaz Dag, also known as Mount Ida. The rarity in its cultivation is due to its being recently recognized as its own distinct flowering plant.
Crocus gargaricus grows in damp pasture and open pine woodlands at an elevation range of 1200 to 2300 meters. Often found near snow melt in mountain meadows with peaty soils, growing with Pinus nigra ssp. pallasiana and Abies nordmanniana ssp. bornmuelleria.
