Crocus Striped Bird is an exquisite early-flowering variety, renowned for its intricate purple striping on soft lilac-white petals. Flowering in February and March, it brings a welcome splash of colour to the garden at the very start of the year. Each bloom features fine feathered markings that create a unique and delicate appearance, making it perfect for adding charm to lawns, rock gardens, and borders.
