Crocus King Of The Striped is a striking large-flowered crocus producing elegant pale lilac blooms beautifully marked with rich purple stripes and bright golden-orange centres. Flowering from March to April and reaching approximately 10cm in height, this eye-catching variety brings vibrant colour to the early spring garden while providing an important source of nectar for bees and other early pollinators.

Perfect for naturalising, Crocus King Of The Striped thrives in lawns, borders, rockeries, woodland gardens and containers. Left undisturbed, the corms will multiply over time to create impressive drifts of beautifully striped flowers that return each spring, making this variety an excellent choice for adding long-lasting seasonal interest.
