Product Description - Crocus Striped Bird
The Crocus 'Striped Bird' is an exceptionally delicate and decorative spring-flowering bulb that captivates with its elegant petal patterns. Its flowers feature a white and light-lilac background accented by contrasting purple stripes, reminiscent of the feathers of a fairy-tale bird—the inspiration behind its name.
Blooming very early, often in February or March while snow may still be on the ground, this variety makes a stunning accent in any spring garden. Its tender yet contrasting colors are ideal for creating living borders, decorating flowerbeds, alpine gardens, or natural lawns. These hardy plants tolerate short cold spells well and do not require covering.

How to Plant - Crocus Striped Bird
Planting & Care Instructions
Crocuses are classic early-spring flowering bulbs ideal for borders, rock gardens, pots and balcony boxes. Low-maintenance and winter-hardy, they bring vibrant color to the garden year after year.
- Planting time: Plant the corms/bulbs in autumn, from September to November, before the ground freezes. Flowering time generally occurs from February to March.
- Preparation: No special pre-soaking required. Ensure bulbs are firm and healthy prior to planting.
- Position & soil: Choose a full sun to partial shade position. Plant in loose, well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water tends to collect.
- Planting depth & spacing: For standard crocus bulbs, size 5/8 cm, plant approximately 6–10 cm deep and 6–10 cm apart.
- Watering: Water once after planting. Keep soil lightly moist, but never waterlogged. Additional watering during autumn and winter is usually unnecessary.
- Growing in containers: Use pots or balcony boxes with drainage holes and a well-drained potting mix. Bulbs can be planted slightly closer together than in garden beds.
- After flowering: Allow the foliage to remain until it naturally turns yellow and dies back. This allows the bulb to store energy for the following season.
- Returning each year: Crocuses are winter-hardy perennials that naturally return and bloom for many years when conditions are suitable.
