Its [[cultivars]] and those of ''[[Crocus flavus]]'' (Dutch ~~Crocus~~crocus) are used as [[ornamental plant]]s. The Dutch ~~Crocusses~~crocuses are larger than the other cultivated crocus species (e.g., ''Crocus chrysanthus''). Depending on the year, ''Crocus vernus'' starts flowering about the same time or up to 2 weeks after ''[[Crocus chrysanthus]]'' (~~Snow~~snow ~~Crocus~~crocus) starts flowering.
