This "King of the Striped" Crocus is a perfect choice to welcome the new season with a flash of color. Its delicate blooms feature a lovely bi-color pattern of soft purple and white stripes, creating a striking visual contrast that brings life to the quiet landscape of late winter and early spring. These plants are ideal for Zone 7 and 8, growing to a manageable height of 4 to 6 inches, making them perfect for rock gardens, container displays, or for naturalizing in a lawn where they will return year after year.
One of their most appealing qualities is their resistance to animals. Deer, squirrels, and other common garden critters tend to leave them alone, making them a worry-free addition to your yard. For best results, plant the corms in a full sun location with well-draining soil. To give them a great start, amend your soil with Watters Premium Mulch and a handful of Bone Meal to encourage strong root and flower growth. A light dressing of Watters Humic and All Purpose Plant Food after planting will further support them, ensuring a spectacular, colorful display.
