1 Bulb Striped Pickwick Crocus – Crocus vernus Spring Flowering

Striped Pickwick Crocus is a spring-blooming crocus prized for its large, goblet-shaped flowers. Each bloom displays white petals boldly striped with violet-purple, creating a striking striped pattern. This hardy bulb is a classic choice for bringing early-season color to borders, rock gardens, and containers, and it naturalizes readily when given well-drained soil and a sunny spot.
This crocus is grown primarily for ornamental display. Plant the bulbs in groups in autumn for a cheerful late-winter to early-spring show, or force them indoors in pots for an early bloom. The grassy foliage emerges alongside the flowers, and the whole planting goes dormant by early summer. Combine with other early bulbs for layered seasonal interest in beds, lawns, and patio planters.
