Colchicum Bornmuelleri
C2014
Description
Late-season magic blooms in soft violet, spreading fragrant, chalice-shaped flowers across the autumn garden.
No leaves interrupt the show - just blooms appearing as if conjured from the soil. Colchicum Bornmuelleri create an enchanting sight in fading light, when most plants sleep, and this one begins to shine.
This low-maintenance perennial is an easy yet, colchicum Bornmuelleri striking addition to the garden, rewarding very little effort with a spectacular burst of autumn colour that returns year after year.
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 7.5 cm deep in well-drained, humus-rich soil, 10-15 cm apart. Likes a sunny or lightly shaded position.
