Colchicum Luteum
C2015
Description
Colchicum Luteum is unusual and eye-catching, this summer performer sends up canary-yellow blooms surrounded by deep green foliage.
Petals stand proud, glossy and weather-resilient. A rare delight among colchicums, turning warm months into a golden affair. Brilliant in borders or scattered among grasses for an unexpected splash.
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.
