Taylors Bulbs Crocus 'Striped Bird' 15

One of the earliest bulbs to flower, Crocus 'Striped Bird' brings delicate detail to late-winter borders: soft lavender petals finely brushed with darker purple veins and creamy white streaks, opening to reveal a golden centre that early pollinators seek out. Compact at around 10cm, it's ideal for naturalising in lawns, tucking into rockeries, or growing in pots for a close-up view. Fully hardy and easy to grow, it will return and multiply for years to come. Plant corms from July to October, 5cm deep in well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade.
