Colchicum Byzantinum
C2001
Description
Growing Colchicum byzantinum with large purple-pink flowers is a magical experience. These autumnal beauties unfurl luminous, chalice-shaped blooms, creating an ethereal carpet of colour. Plant corms in well-drained soil and partial to full sun.
Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry between watering. These otherworldly blossoms appear like enchanting jewels in the garden, bringing a touch of whimsy and wonder to the autumn landscape.
Care Guide
No leaves are present when the wine-glass shaped flowers appear, and the long tubes at the base of the petals extend down into the earth.
Plant 7.5cm (3”) deep in well-drained, humus-rich soil, 10-15cm (4-6”) apart. Likes a sunny or lightly shaded position.
