Description
Crocus Striped Bird is one of the most charming early spring crocuses you can plant. It blooms at the very start of the season, often pushing up through cold soil when winter is barely over. The flowers open in soft lavender to pale violet, each petal finely brushed with darker purple stripes that give the blooms a hand painted look. When the sun hits them, the cups open wide to reveal a warm golden center that bees are quick to find. This variety belongs to the early flowering botanical crocus group, known for their toughness and reliability. Striped Bird returns year after year and slowly multiplies, forming cheerful clumps that get better with time. It is especially effective planted in drifts where the striped pattern really shows, but it also works beautifully along paths, under shrubs, or tucked into rock gardens. Many gardeners in the United States also love it for naturalizing in lawns, where it blooms before mowing season begins. Crocus Striped Bird is easy to grow and forgiving. Plant the bulbs in fall, give them sun or light shade, and they take care of the rest. They handle cold winters well and bloom consistently even after tough weather. For anyone looking to add early color with character and reliability, this crocus is a classic choice that never feels ordinary.
