Description

A large flowered variety and one of the best colchicums for it. These naturalise well in either a semi-shady or sunny spot. They flower without their leaves (they appear after flowering) so benefit from being planted amongst other low-growing plants to give them some protection.

Care Tips

If these are already sprouting when they arrive, it will not have an adverse effect on the long-term health and vigour and they can be planted out as normal, taking care not to damage any emerging shoots.
