Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Striped Bird' crocus bulbs in fall (October-November) for optimal spring blooming. Position bulbs 3 inches deep and 2 inches apart in well-drained soil. These versatile plants thrive in full sun to partial shade locations, making them suitable for various garden settings. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure energy storage for next season's display. For best naturalization results, avoid cutting foliage until it has completely yellowed.
