Colchicum 'Dick Trotter' produces its goblet shaped mauve-pink flowers in September and October, long before the foliage appears in spring. The single blooms are each decorated with a white star at their centre, making a pretty contrast.
A bright display of dazzling white, fully double flowers burst from the soil in September. The flowers of Colchicum autumnale alboplenum appear alone, with the foliage emerging in the following spring.
Flamboyant double blooms will brighten your autumn with an ostentatious display of bright pink petals! Colchicum 'Waterlily' is nothing short of spectacular.
Autumn Crocus are prized for their late season blooms that emerge without foliage ? the leaves appear later when spring arrives. Despite their common name, Colchicum are not true Crocus, but they certainly have the same springlike feel!
Single, gleaming white flowers emerge in autumn to brighten faded gardens with their goblet-shaped blooms. Colchicum autumnale 'Album' provides late season interest and plenty of late nectar for the pollinating insects in your area.
One of the most opulent and striking of the autumn-flowering bulbs, Colchicums are best known for their spectacular goblet-shaped, lilac-pink flowers in September and October. Colchicum flowers emerge first from their summer dormancy, earning the name 'Naked Ladies', followed by large, strappy leaves that are retained until mid-summer. Fully hardy and the perfect candidate for naturalising in grass, colchicum is one of those bulbs that surprise and delight every year when they emerge in a prelude to the main spring bulb event - giving us a taster of what the new year will bring. Each large bulb will produce multiple flowers and are an excellent choice for rockeries or for borders where drainage is good, and they can even be grown on a windowsill without soil in a hyacinth vase (or even a saucer). Easy to grow in good, fertile soil, the bright flowers of this autumn crocus are weather resistant too, giving a good display when many other plants are becoming dormant. Supplied as a pack of 3 bulbs, ready for immediate planting.
