Why we like this plant
Crocus 'King of Striped' delights with its understated yet intricate beauty, offering a gentle pattern that catches the eye without overwhelming. Its refined markings bring a touch of sophistication to spring displays, pairing wonderfully with plain crocuses or spring bulbs in pastel tones. Ideal for naturalistic clusters or tidy borders, it adds depth and interest to early blooms.
Planting guide
Plant corms in autumn, 7 to 10 cm deep and 5 to 7 cm apart, in well-drained soil with full sun or partial shade.
Care tips
Leave the foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed the corm for next year. Divide clumps every few years to maintain healthy growth.
