Just like "Blue Pearl", "Ard Schenk" is one of the first to welcome Spring. Did you know that he's named in honour of the famous Dutch speed skater?
"Ard Schenk" is a crocus from the Balkans, radiant white with a golden-yellow centre. Bees and bumble bees adore him and are thrilled with their abundant pollen feast.
He grows vigorously and produces more and more blooms with every year.
